Our objective is to help you get to grips with your camera then use it creatively to create better images. During the workshop we'll help you individually as well as giving group tuition. The locations we use are specially chosen to provide good photographic opportunities in changing light and help you to build your photographic skills and confidence. We believe that photography should be fun so there'll be plenty of laughs along the way.

Suffolk is "big sky" country and along the coast there are a number of picturesque, quintessentially English seaside towns such as Southwold, where this course is based. From here we'll be able to combine coastal landscapes, fascinating architecture, interesting and often humourous seaside details.

Southwold itself has a charming pier and amusement arcade, a brewery and an inland lighthouse, colourful traditional beach huts and characterful fishing harbour. Across the inlet and reached by a small chain-link ferry, is the village of Walberswick and its sandy beach beyond the dunes. There's plenty to photograph and numerous opportunities to improve your photography skills.

As this photography course is highly interactive and requires time to review each photographer's approach to making images, the number of participants is strictly limited to a maximum of 12 photographers.

Tuition

Course tuition is under the guidance of award-winning professional photographers Nick Meers and Chris Coe. Nick and Chris have about 50 years of photographic experience between them, shooting everything from landscapes to cars, people to food, travel to architecture and abstracts to wildlife images. Their photography has taken them all over the world on commissioned work and stock shoots, photographing on film and digitally, in every format from 35mm to large format panoramics.
