Come with your camera and explore the gardens at West Dean and further afield. Immerse yourself amongst the early summer flowers: geraniums, irises, roses, cow parsley and buttercups. Slow down, unwind and take time to compose your pictures. Experiment creating abstract images from the patterns and texture you find in the gardens. Spend time looking at architectural and plant structures and how they can be used to add leading lines and interest to your photos. The focus of this course is on composition, lighting and getting it right in camera rather than post image manipulation.

All tutorials are tailored to individual needs.  You might just want to get to grips with your camera, or need some technical help on exposure and composition.  Perhaps you would like guidance on taking photos to showcase your business.   We can discuss your requirements beforehand so you can get the very best from this one-to-one experience.  On the day, after spending a few minutes talking through the basics we will go out ‘into the field’ and take pictures. There will be plenty of time afterwards to go through your images.  My aim is to give you the confidence to develop your skills. To find out more or book a tuition slot, please do contact me. Private tutorial subjects include: tabletop/still life photography; gardens/plants. Cost: £45.00 per hour (If you bring a friend or partner there will be £5.00 discount per person).
