Description
Capture & Critiquing workshop online
There are two reasons I love to teach photography.
One is that I believe the act of creating art, creating anything, is an essential part of our humanness. We love to make, we love to look at the world and respond with our experiences.
The other reason is that I believe we are all artists. We all have something unique to say, to offer to the world. Our experiences, our stories are particular to us and so, too, is our creativity.
And most importantly – the lessons are focused on taking an artist-led approach. The course is totally and entirely created to helping you develop your inner artist.
This workshop has four sessions
This online workshop will totally transform both how you think about photography, and how you take photos.
I will be teaching my methodology of creating great images.
These are the techniques I have used to become an award winning photographer, a published artist and having exhibitions internationally.
The techniques I have used to create a career where I have had my photography books commissioned, been featured on BBC World and in many international publications.
These are also the techniques I teach in my workshops all over the world – from Cuba to London, Venice to Hong Kong. I have taught for the Guardian Masterclasses, the London Mayor’s office, written about photography for Huffington Post, Digital Photography School
Let’s take a look at The Art of Creative Photography Online
- Would you like critiquing on your images from me, a professional photographer?
- Would you like to be set challenges, work with me and get continuous feedback on your photography over 4 weeks?
- Would you like to fill in gaps to your photo knowledge – asking me directly all the aspects of photography you don’t understand?
- And how about having a lot of fun along the way with a small group of people who also love photography?
The workshop will require you to do an intense amount of shooting between our sessions which you will then bring to the group for honest and in-depth analysis of your images.
This will be super interactive – with part of the workshop aimed at learning to critique other people’s images – which is an amazing skill to develop, and will very much help you with your own photography.
For the challenges I set between sessions it doesn’t matter so much what you are shooting, even if you’re just on your way to work, at the grocery store, looking after kids, and it doesn’t matter when – it’s about developing how you see the world. And it most definitely does not matter what camera you use to take your photos!
This will help you develop your skills (which are just like muscles) so significantly that when you are standing before that amazing subject you can capture the shot quickly, confidently and with great ease.
I want all the images we work with on this workshop to be shot during the duration of the course. This is important. We are going to be working in real time, out-of-your-comfort-zone, shooting.
Critiquing and feedback on your images is essential if you are to improve as a photographer – so I wanted to take that concept and make that the focus of this workshop.
You’ll learn more about your photography style, how to personally develop your images in these four sessions that you’ve ever learned before – promise.
I will also be filling in gaps in your knowledge – based on what I see in your images. This is me reacting to you guys and helping you where I see you need it most.
Here is a list of what we will be covering:
-
You will receive a challenge after every session to test your ability to produce great work
-
You will have to make time to shoot 100’s of images between the sessions – on your way to work, at the grocery store, looking after grandkids, doesn’t matter when, it’s about developing how you see the world.
-
-
We will spend our valuable time together breaking down and analysing your images
-
Image analysis: You will be tasked with analysing images deeply, working with other people in the group and their photos. You will learn to deconstruct a photo in-depth which in turn will make you a better artist.
-
-
I will teach you how to enhance your ability to choose which of your images is great
-
Editing your work down to the best is an often overlooked skill set. We will fix that together!
-
-
You will be asked to produce a portfolio of work shot during the workshop
-
It will be time to step-up and show your work to the group for review. Don’t sweat it. It’s only ten images 🙂
-
-
I will also be filling in gaps in your knowledge – based on what I see in your images.
This is me reacting to you guys and helping you where I see you need it most. -
We will have a private online Slack group where we will upload and discuss your images throughout the workshop
-
The more you put into it the more you will get out of it!
-
-
I will task you to have your camera with you at all times during the course
I will work with you throughout the course to help you develop your own unique style and voice.
I will challenge you to push yourself out of your comfort zone, to go way beyond where you are now, so that when we finish you have a whole new body of work and an exciting new direction for your photography.
This will be unlike other online courses in that I won’t be just talking at you from a screen with no way to stop; you can ask questions in real time and get proper demonstrative answers.
There will be four live classes which will be completely interactive.
On my live online courses I offer an amazing level of personalisation:
-
I will answer every question you have.
-
I will guide each person through this process and make sure everyone understands everything.
-
I will guide each person on their own journey to create amazing images.
-
You will share your work and passion with like-minded individuals.
All sessions will be recorded and sent to the group. They will be great to reference later, or catch up on anything you missed. Plus, even if you can’t make a session you can still submit questions so I can answer them in session.

This is a brilliant course that helped me to look at photography in a new way. I feel like I can deconstruct a photo much better when I look at it, which is a skill I’ve never felt confident at in all my years of photography. It also means I’m better able to understand the relationships between elements in my own photos, both when shooting and analysing shots after. Following the course I’m trying to put it into practice by being more conscious in my image making, and I’m looking forward to going over my existing portfolio with fresh eyes.
