The Final Workshop!

It’s the end of an era! After twelve years and approaching 100 workshops, Sam and I ran our final workshop last weekend. It turned out to be a great send-off, despite the best efforts of weather forecasters! We had a day of lovely, diffused light for photographing autumn colours and moving water at Bolton Abbey. […]

Aysgarth Retrospective

Normally I’d be preparing for our first workshop of the season today, which we always run at Aysgarth. So, as all of our spring workshops are now postponed until next year, here’s a post for the workshops blog looking back at a few March visits to Aysgarth over the years…

Malhamdale From Above

One of my favourite viewpoints in the Yorkshire Dales is just above Gordale Scar in Malhamdale which I’m lucky enough to visit every time we run a Natural Light Photography Workshop at Malham.  It’s a steep climb up from the valley floor below, but the view down into Gordale Scar (featured image) is just spectacular.
