5 Creative Ways to 
Improve Your Photography

I took my first photograph at the age of eight using my parents' disposable camera during a family trip to Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales. By the age of ten, I had saved enough pocket money to buy my first camera, and photography has been a big part of my life ever since.

​

In 2014, I graduated with Merit from the University of Westminster's MA in Photographic Studies, where I learned from some of the UK's leading photographers alongside internationally recognised practitioners. During this time, I exhibited my work in London and back home in Yorkshire.

​

I've always loved exploring my home county, and I'm incredibly proud to call myself a Yorkshireman. In 2012, I decided to combine my passion for photography with my knowledge of Yorkshire's most beautiful and inspiring locations. That's how Yorkshire Photo Walks was born.

​

Since then, I've helped over 1,000 photographers develop their skills through friendly, practical photography workshops and one-to-one tuition across Yorkshire. Whether you're picking up a camera for the first time or looking to refine your technique, my aim is to help you grow in confidence, enjoy your photography and come away seeing the world a little differently.

​

I specialise in landscape, urban and creative photography, with a particular passion for minimalism, abstract photography and black and white imagery. I'm also proud to run regular night photography workshops as part of the Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival, helping photographers capture the beauty of Yorkshire's night skies while learning techniques for photographing the Milky Way, stars and low-light landscapes.

​

I believe great photography isn't just about knowing which buttons to press. Anyone can take a decent photograph in good light, but understanding why a composition works, how light shapes an image, and how to think creatively behind the camera is what takes your photography to the next level. Rather than encouraging people to memorise rules, I focus on helping you understand the principles so you can develop your own style and make better creative decisions.

​

My audio workshops can be listened to out in the field, whilst practicing photography, on the way to a shoot or as a podcast, whilst relaxing at home. They are designed to help you learn step-by-step with bite-sized tutorials that can be paused and re-listened to whenever and wherever you want.

So why not take your photography knowledge one step further with a photography audio workshop from Yorkshire Photo Walks.
