The group will be small – only ten and while shooting this will be split to enable the tutor to work with people on an individual basis.  This workshop is aimed at those who love plant and garden photography and/or those who are thinking of entering the profession.

The workshop will take place at Mill Dene(Feb) or Batsford Arboretum(Oct) both wonderful yet very different gardens.

RPS Plant and Garden Photography Course

Both myself and Paul Debois took our first course on Sunday 2nd May at The Royal Photographic Society in Bath. It was a great success and we had 10 very eager and talented students ready to be enlightened by the tips and tricks we use in photographing the gardening world. Our next course will be running on Sunday 26th September . Here are a couple of  images which were shot in the second part of the day when we have a practical session. A very basic set up with natural light, a bit of fill and some seasonal lilac and a Clematis montana bloom.
