PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT.

It doesn’t matter what stage of your photography journey you are on, there are always lessons to be learned. James is a big believer in the sharing of knowledge and loves to help others refine their craft.

From the basics of exposure and getting to know your camera, advanced framing and composition considerations, to mastering the art of post production, James’ 19 years of experience can help you make the most of the opportunities you may encounter on your next photography adventure.

Workshops and tutorials with James are available across multiple genres of photography: from landscape to portrait, through to advanced editing techniques and beyond. Get in touch to find out more.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.

Forming good habits starts right at the beginning of your photography journey, so it does not matter if you have never picked up a camera before. We will start at the very beginning and develop a solid foundation for you to build upon.

If you already know your way around the basics, that’s great! We’ll take what you know and build on that existing knowledge and experience to help you improve upon the areas that are important to you.

ONLINE OR OUT AND ABOUT.

Learning photography isn’t all about being out with the camera. Editing plays a crucial part in finishing your work. Join James on a bespoke Zoom call to hone your skills behind the keyboard on Capture One, Lightroom or Photoshop.

Outdoor workshops and tutorials are now available James politely requests that you take a lateral flow test before attending any workshops.

MASTER YOUR KIT.

If you don’t know your way around a “proper’ camera, it can seem daunting. Even if you do, there might be features that you’re not sure how best to put into practise. Together, we can push your kit to its limit by expanding your knowledge of how to use it through practical lessons in the field.

EXPLORE COMPOSITION.

There are thousands of different ways to compose and frame a photograph. No two people will organically approach the same scene I the same way. Whether you have a good understanding of composition or not, together we can explore different ideas on how to approach photographing a scene, that you might just love.

DISCOVER LOCATIONS.

Exploration is a key component to landscape photography and is arguably one of the most important aspects of the genre. Discovering a new location can inspire you to produce your best work. Together, we can explore areas and spots that I know will either provide you with the best conditions for learning, or take your breath away. Perhaps even both!.

IMPROVE YOUR EDITING.

The basics of editing do not change, no matter which software you use to work on your photographs. Together, we can take what you already know and build upon that platform to help you get the most out of your captures.

 

PERKS.

FILTER ACCESS.

For many landscape photographers, filters play an integral role in the photographic process. They can help you bring out the very best in your scenes and open up a host of creative opportunities to elevate your photography.

While you join James on a workshop or tutorial, you get access to a range of Formatt Hitech filters and filter holder, including a series of different density ND filters, soft grads, hard grads and a polariser so that you can use the right filters for the scene you are shooting.

One of the perks of being an ambassador for Formatt Hitech is that I can offer discount on their products to fellow photographers. Save 10% on your next purchase at https://www.formatt-hitech.com using the code FORTUNE10 at checkout*.

If you have access to your own filters, that’s great! You can of course use your own filters while we work. However, if you want to try out a few new options, then they are there waiting for you!

BAG IT UP.

Carrying your kit can be a cumbersome task. The more kit you want to bring, the more issues that you can encounter as the weight on your back increases. At this point, it is essential to invest in a quality backpack that can distribute the weight of your kit correctly. Not only will this save you from excruciating back pain, but it will also enable you to go further with the kit that you need, while keeping it all as safe as possible.

As a Pathfinder for f-stop, workshop and tutorial participants get access to 15% discount on f-stop’s excellent range of products alongside $20 credit to spend on their website at the end of the session.

f-stop products are incredibly well designed, offering some of the best in class quality and functionality that is currently available.

You can check out f-stop’s gear for sale at https://fstopgear.com
