This 1:1 one day (10am-3pm) photography workshop is the perfect way to improve your photography skills and focus on your individual learning needs. It is aimed at those who prefer a more personalised working environment or have specific skills they would like to to learn or improve.

For Beginners: If you are you stuck on your camera’s 'Auto' setting and wish to learn how to use your camera’s settings more creatively, you will learn how to control your digital camera to take perfectly exposed photographs, whilst considering creative aspects such as capturing or freezing movement and separating the subject from its background. During the session, you will also look at selecting a focus point, white balance, and ISO. Along with these technical aspects, you will also spend time exploring basic techniques of composition such as framing, balance and depth to elevate your photo-taking skills. To complete the workshop, you will explore how to download your digital image files (and their various formats) to a computer and the use of image editing software to enhance photographs. This fun and informative one-day workshop will provide you with an understanding of the fundamental principles of photography, allow you to take control of your camera, giving you the confidence to switch from your camera’s Auto setting to a more creative option, allowing you to improve and develop your photography.

For Improvers: Before the workshop we will have a telephone or Zoom discussion about the skills you have already acquired and those that you would like to improve. I will then develop a one-day programme of learning tailored to your individual needs. This could cover a broad range of photographic skills and genres from technical to artistic. Perhaps you would like to master off camera flash, develop styling ideas and skills for fine art portraiture, learn lighting patterns in the studio etc or learn how to control light effectively. Whatever your specific needs, we can provide a fun and informative day of learning.

For Experienced : Do you already have a good range of photographic skills you can utilise but would perhaps like to move your photography forward in a particular direction? Perhaps you would you like to master studio lighting and set-ups, push your portraiture in a particular direction. Please get in touch and together we can devise a full day of learning to develop your skills to the next level.

This experience is for couples or small groups of friends that would like to learn together. Group size can be 2 to 4 people.

- This experience can be taken at Julia’s photo studio or at a pre-agreed location of your choice.

This one-day workshop is packed with all the information you need to successfully take beautiful portraits using natural light. It will provide you with an understanding of light and show you how to control and manipulate it. You will also spend time delving into techniques of composition such as framing, posing, depth of field and choice of lenses to enhance your photos.

In addition, you will explore the often undervalued subject of 'styling' your shoot - primarily aspects of clothing and accessories, hair and make-up and shoot location. As you move into the afternoon, you will have fun putting into practice everything that you learnt in the morning with a hands-on photo shoot, closing the day discussing the importance of using a consistent approach to post production to create a uniform collection of final images.

This in-depth 6 hour workshop has been designed for those who already have a good understanding of how their camera works, including knowledge of shutter speed, aperture and ISO. If you are new to photography you may want to take a look at the Beginners Photography Workshop, which will provide you with the foundation knowledge required for this more advanced workshop.
