Workshops are currently unavailable to new clients while I take a short hiatus. If you have previously attended a workshop with me and would like to continue with another then please get in touch via the contact page.
I specialise in one-to-one photography workshops in the south west London and Surrey area, for those new to photography and anyone who wants to move away from “auto” and learn how to get the most out of their camera. If you want to move on from “taking snaps” and learn how to create images you'll be proud to share with family & friends, then I can help you gain the camera skills to achieve that.
I provide one-to-one sessions of 3 hours where I can focus on your requirements and show you the techniques you need to improve your photography skills. I find that one-to-one sessions are more suited to beginners as they are less intimidating than learning in a group and you can ask anything you want - there are no stupid questions when you are a beginner!
Some of the topics available:
● Beginners introduction
● Creative use of blur in images
● Introduction to filters and long-exposure photography
● Macro photography
● Deer photography
● Woodland photography
● Creative or abstract techniques
● Street photography
● Seasonal subjects, such as bluebells, the autumn deer rut, winter sunrises etc.
Some of these can be combined into a longer session if you fancy it, e.g. deer/woodland, street/creative.● Creative use of blur in images

Location - a mutually agreed outdoor area such as the Surrey Hills for landscape work or maybe a town centre or London's South Bank if you're keen on street photography or even a local park/garden for macro work. As long as it's somewhere you're happy with and preferably with somewhere to grab a coffee while we run through the basics.
Date/Time - totally flexible on the day of the week, time of day and duration, contact me to discuss availability. I will attempt to fit in with your schedule as best as I can. I am flexible enough to be willing to reschedule a session should the need arise.
Cost:
● 3-hour session - £120 (£150 total for 2 people)

Don’t worry if a session overruns by 10 or 20 minutes - I'm quite flexible about timekeeping and I won't be charging extra by the minute!Contact me in the first instance by email - 47photography@griffett.com - I aim to respond within 24 hours (most often much sooner), unless I am on holiday (and sometimes even then!).
Once I understand your level of experience I can advise on what is best for you.
I look forward to working with you and helping you to improve your photography.
