For winter sessions, I recommend you book a one to one workshop as organizing group workshops in the winter months can be close to impossible with the weather here.

The map below shows the meeting point and one of the locations on the day.

Photography Workshops West Cork - Long Strand Beach landscape photography location Ireland

What you will learn on the day

  • Camera settings : How they impact your image and how to use them to your advantage.
  • Photography process : Having a process seriously helps you capture what you actually see, so your less distracted by all the technicalities then.
  • Photography Style : I show you how to develop your own photography style.
  • Composition : How you compose photographs and giving your image a meaning.
  • Story Telling : A great photograph slowly unravels and tells a story, the longer you look at it, the more you see. A photograph without a story is just a snapshot.
  • Mindfulness : How to get in the right mind frame for photography, this is so incredibly important for photography. If you can’t feel the image you are creating then how do you expect others to feel anything when viewing it.
  • Confidence : This all helps build confidence and when you are more confident you relax, when you relax you can then be more creative.
  • Knowledge :I am in a very unique position in that I am one of very few photography workshop leaders that work in multiple photography genres professionally.

    I am not just a landscape photographer, I am also a full time professional Fashion, Portrait and Commercial photographer, so not matter what question you have I should be able to answer it for you.

    It’s one of the truly unique aspects of my workshops.

Types of Photography Workshops available.

I have two different types of photography workshops to choose from…

I have my group photography workshops where you will be one of a max of 3 people on the day (more details on that below).

I also have my One to one Photography workshops and these are the ones I really recommend as they are completely tailored to you and what you need to learn on the day. These are the workshops people benefit from most.

Photography workshops Locations

I usually run my photography workshops in West Cork but they are also available all over Ireland (please contact me to find out more).

West Cork’s amazing beaches, cliffs, rolling fields and ever-changing light really help to set the scene and we travel to some stunning locations including Galley Head lighthouse, Long Strand Beach and Owenahincha beach as well as one or two stops along the way.

Crazily they are only 10 mins apart by car and there are no serious walking or fitness levels required.

Are my Photography workshops right for you?

Yes, they are, as my Photography workshops are suitable for all ages and skill levels, I get everyone from complete beginners all the way through to professional photographers regularly in my workshops and the age levels vary from 13 to 80+ years young.

I should also mention I don’t share behind the scenes photographs from my workshops or post on social media about them so your privacy is assured.

There is no real fitness level required as all the places are only a short walk from the car, we can of course go a bit more cross country if you prefer, for some of those special locations.

I can also offer you discount codes on the following photography brands as I work as an ambassador and partner with them, simply click on the name to find out more…

Seascape and Landscape Photography Workshops West Cork Ireland - golden hour photography tuition

What’s covered on a photography workshop?

Understanding your camera’s functions… The exposure triangle explained… Simplifying Exposure… Composition tips and techniques… How to capture what you see…

As well as several tips and tricks to help you not only create better photographs but enjoy the experience more also.

I have been running these photography workshops for over 10 years now and both national and international clients love the stunning scenery as well as the relaxed atmosphere on them.

West Cork truly is a place apart and the real beauty is the places we go to are not crowded by tourists walking into your shot.
