The Northumberland coast has long been a place of artistic interest. Turner and Constable painted here extensively on their grand tours of the British Isles.
The Area
We will be taking photos from Dawn to Dusk at one of the most stunning coastal locations England has to offer. The opportunities for great photography are endless in this corner of North East England. I will take you to classic locations but with some new viewpoints and angles.
We will also visit new locations that I have photographed over the years and bring exciting new work to your portfolio.
Castles, Harbours and Long Exposure Sea scapes will be covered in this workshop of Northumbria. The programme is aimed at people who want to improve their photography and composition at all levels. You may have a good understanding of photography and simply want to be guided to breathtaking scenery and add stunning photos to your portfolio.
All the workshops we run are based on a relaxed format to make the most of your time and importantly enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Workshop Details -
What you need
Bring along the camera equipment you are most familiar with and have a good understanding of its basic settings. Most cameras work in a simular way so I can help with some of the finer points.
It can be digital or film, I use both, the only point I would add here is that it is nice to view the days photographs in the evening all together, digital photography allows for this activity.
Fitness- The photography does require some moderate hill walking so a little fitness is required, a pair of walking boots would be beneficial.
Waterproofs - Just in case.
Arrival - We meet up at the Victoria Hotel on Friday, we can then head out for the first photographic shoot of the weekend. This will leave plenty of time to be back at the Hotel for Dinner and discuss the morning location.
We will complete the course on Sunday afternoon with a sunset, weather permitting.
Post Production
All workshop participants are welcome to book a date at my studio in Shropshire to discuss and learn Photoshop Editing/Printing Techniques. Your favourite image from the weekend will then be printed out Full Colour or Monochrome upto 18" x 24" size.
