Lake District & Eryri Landscape Photography Workshops and Courses

Eryri/Snowdonia 1-1 WORKSHOPS AND COURSES 

I have been going to Eryri since I was a child and subsequently, my wife and I took our family there too. Unlike the Lake District, the landscape in the National Parc is more ‘concentrated’ with some of the most dramatic scenery you will find literally right by the roadside. The A% is a great example of that. Of course you can venture up into the back of beyond and I have actually ascended all the routes up Yr Wyddfa on a number of occasions (only on the train once!!) and I feel I have a real affinity for the area. I feel I have extensive knowledge of it and can take you to places that will fulfil what you want from your landscape photography workshop or course. Both Vicki and I are official ambassadors of the Parc and are proud of that fact.

“I wanted to say thank you Mark & Vicki for the most fabulous workshop in Snowdonia. This was my second one day workshop (previously in the Lake District) and I cannot emphasis enough, what a brilliant time I had. Mark & Vicki are so personable and for someone who has struggled for years on “group courses” you will be amazed at the difference that their workshop is. Mark explains things from start to finish so I really understand what settings are for and how the changes effect the photo. I now the take system I have been taught with me wherever I go and have the confidence to shoot in manual all the time. If you are thinking of booking… do it… you will not be disappointed. Their enthusiasm has rubbed off on me and now I can’t wait to go out and practice some more!
Thank you Mark and Vicki and looking forward to my next day in October.”

This is the land of Celtic myth and legend and it has the locations to back that up. No matter what time of year we can go to locations for your landscape photography workshop that will deliver for you. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an intermediate photographer you will come away with great images. I particularly like teaching around Cwm Idwal and the Ogwen Valley in general and find that they are simply irresistible to take your camera to.

“Mark, I wanted to ‘put pen to paper’ to say thank you to both Victoria and yourself following my time with you last week. Whilst I have joined you on a couple of photo walks previously, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed, this was completely different. From the moment we met, you put me at ease and took the time to understand me, my background in photography and, most importantly, what I wanted to get out of the two days. Once we were out on the landscape, your knowledge of the area was amazing and the areas you took me to suited what I was looking to gain from the workshop. Returning to the cafe to show me how you process images was fantastic … you were quick to put me at ease as I’d mentioned previously I was overwhelmed by Lightroom. Day two and Dinorwig Quarry was absolutely amazing! As promised, you made me look at ‘landscapes’ with a fresh pair of eyes and, as well you know, I was blown away by the day! I will be returning very soon! Overall, a fantastic couple of days with an amazing couple of people! Your patience, your knowledge, your understanding and you humour have inspired me to take my photography more seriously and I will be booking another couple of days again.”

As well as the ‘usual’ locations that many will want to go to, I also deliver the landscape photography workshops and courses within the World Heritage Site that is Dinorwig. We keep to the proper paths and my objective there is to ensure that you can marry the natural landscape with the man made. It is a fantastic place and never disappoints.

“This was my second workshop with Mark but this time in Snowdonia. His knowledge of the area is fantastic and he chose the selection of locations to further enhance my development which meant that I had wide variety of images and challenges for the week. We were deep into mountain country and the weather was very changeable, ranging from bright warm sunshine to amazonian torrential rain (I kid you not!) and on days like that you do sometimes think ‘what if we can’t go any where? Just what do we do??’ I needn’t have worried because Mark's local knowledge meant that he was able to maximise every day and choose suitable locations for me. Consequently, I was able to have a full week of photography and learning. We were joined by his colleague Vicki Procter and what a good teacher she is who sometimes looks at things in a different way. I liked that. As before, Mark's teaching style was relaxed and professional. He has been ‘doing this for a long time’ now and it really shows. He fully understood my needs and ensured ways I would and did progress so that my photography was able to move a lot further forward. That famous Danish beer company don't do photography workshops, but if they did .......”

Jim Butler, Devon

We are delighted when asked by camera clubs to take them out as a group. The camaraderie and rapport is there from the outset as well as the banter and it is pleasing to know that having delivered for them in Eryri, they come back and ask for another in the Lakes. we are not complaining!

Our minimum is four people and maximum is six.

“We have just returned from what will be the first of a series of workshops with Mark and Vicki. It is fair to say that we are all buzzing from the day and many who attended over the two days have already expressed a desire to return for more. Mark and Vicki are so patient and attentive and we heartily recommend that your club doesn’t hesitate in booking with them”
