Description: This Christmas Photography Workshop is the perfect way to escape the heat and fuss of the festive season — swap the wrapping paper for your camera, walk off a little of the overindulgence, and rediscover how much there is to photograph at the most atmospheric time of year. Open to all levels and any camera, it's a relaxed, sociable outing in Warwickshire with expert guidance throughout, and there's a choice of two very different sessions.
Stratford-upon-Avon, evening: an after-dark shoot in the heart of the town, photographing the Christmas lights and festive atmosphere. It's a chance to work long exposure, reflections and the warm glow of the season — learning to control exposure in low light and compose a strong frame out of a busy, sparkling scene rather than settling for the obvious snapshot.
Lapworth, daytime: the antidote to Christmas. Once the presents are unwrapped, the family politics have peaked and you've eaten your bodyweight in turkey, this leisurely day in the winter countryside is the tonic — a chance to breathe, clear your head and lose yourself in your photography for a few hours. We'll amble through frosty fields, bare woodland and quiet lanes reading the soft, low winter light, with a relaxed lunch in the middle of the day. The whole walk is under five miles at an easy, unhurried pace — gentle enough that the photography, the fresh air and the company are the whole point. The focus stays on seeing: composing with intention, working both intimate detail and wider vista, and reading light, texture and mood to make a picture that's truly yours.
It's a small group of no more than six, taught personally and pitched at exactly your level, with one-to-one guidance in the field throughout. Whether you choose the festive lights of Stratford, the crisp countryside of Lapworth, or both, you'll come away with a set of atmospheric seasonal images — and a stronger eye for light, composition and winter colour that carries through long after the decorations come down. For the Lapworth day, a table is reserved in advance at a welcoming country pub, with a festive menu offering both lighter and full festive-meal options to suit every appetite. The lunch itself isn't included in the workshop fee, so you simply pay for what you choose on the day.

Lapworth Country Walk and Photography
Christmas Week Photo-Walk
Will you need to escape the heat and fuss of Christmas festivities and start walking off some of the overindulgences of Christmas? Join me for the informal photo walk, Christmas Photography Workshop, and discover just how much there is to photograph as you walk around the countryside.
We will stop for a group lunch half way around (Meal not included in price)
We will spend the day around Lapworth, walking across a variety of areas from farmland and meadows to lakes and canals and anything else that catches our eye to be photographed.
The Christmas Photography Workshop day will include a break for lunch at the Punch Bowl (not included in the price) and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions, talk photography and exercise your creative juices along the 4.5 mile photo walk
We will meet at Lapworth Church - this is much more an informal walk, talk and photography workshop hence the reduced price - you will still get plenty of tuition throughout as we stop and take shots throughout the day.
There is no specific theme for the Christmas Photography Workshop, photo-walk so we may cover B&W, Abstract, Macro, Landscape and Wildlife.
No specialist equipment required - just bring your camera, wrap up warm and put on your wellies/walking boots and join me for the fresh air outdoors in beautiful Warwickshire countryside
