Photographer and Workshop Leader
UK landscape photography workshops — Norfolk, Scotland, and beyond
Date: Saturday 14th November 2026. 12 pm to 4 pm
Price: £75 per person
Group Size: 6
Fitness Level: Generally fit. Walking on beach and around sea defences
Winter light on the Norfolk coast has a drama all of its own, and the sea defences at Happisburgh are the perfect subject for it. On this day we'll use long exposure techniques to capture the timber groynes against moody skies and smooth, silky water. I'll guide you through filters (full Kase set available), exposure timing and composition, helping you create images full of atmosphere. The colder months often bring the most dramatic conditions — wrap up warm and let's make the most of them. Small group, all levels.

Join our Cantley Sugar Beet Factory night photo walk and enjoy a relaxed evening of low-light photography around one of Norfolk’s most atmospheric industrial locations.
We’ll meet near Cantley before taking a slow walk to explore views of the factory from the surrounding public areas. This is not a factory access workshop, but the location offers some brilliant opportunities for atmospheric industrial landscapes, steam, reflections, glowing lights, silhouettes, long exposures and the contrast between the working factory and the quiet Norfolk Broads landscape around it.
This location can look incredible at night, especially when the factory is active, and the steam is catching the light. We’ll spend the evening working with tripods, longer exposures, composition, reflections, mixed lighting and the challenges of photographing bright industrial lights against a dark sky.
What to expect from our evening photography walks
This photo walk combines night photography, industrial landscapes, long exposures, reflections and creative composition, all with a relaxed and social atmosphere.
For just £20, you’ll enjoy a small group setting where everyone, including the organisers, will be shooting. This is ideal for photographers with a basic understanding of manual camera settings, through to those looking to refine their low-light and long exposure photography alongside like-minded people.
Although not a structured workshop, throughout the evening, we’ll discuss different techniques while photographing subjects such as factory lights, steam, reflections on the water, silhouettes, glowing windows, night skies, and the wider Broads landscape.
We’ll look at exposure, white balance, focus in the dark, working safely with a tripod at night, and how to deal with very bright highlights without losing all the atmosphere in the scene.
The session will start at 7pm and finish around 9:30 pm, although we may stay a little longer if the conditions are looking especially good.
Book your spot now and capture one of Norfolk’s most striking industrial night photography locations.

A specialist winter sunrise session at Cobbold Point, Felixstowe, timed to a high tide for maximum drama.
At a glance:
Date: Saturday 19th December 2026, 7 am until midday
Price: £40 per person
Group size: up to 10
Level: easy to moderate
Getting there: leave your car at mine and travel with me (limited to 3 passengers), or make your own way to Felixstowe
This is a winter sunrise session built around the tide, not just the clock. At Cobbold Point, the sea defences are wonderfully photogenic, and when the water's pushed right up beneath them just as the winter sun rises over the sea, the conditions can be genuinely spectacular. We'll work the defences, the reflections and the building dawn colour as the light comes up, and if the tide's high enough on the day, there's a good chance we'll head on to take a look at Pin Mill too.
Who this is for
All levels are welcome; this is an easy, sociable morning session rather than a formal teaching workshop, with support and guidance on hand throughout. You'll want to be reasonably steady on your feet though, more on that below.
Where we'll go
We're based at Cobbold Point in Felixstowe, working the sea defences as the tide pushes in and the winter sun comes up. Because the whole session is timed around the tide rather than a fixed clock time, the exact meeting time is confirmed once you've booked, so we catch the water at its best. If conditions and the tide allow, we may also head over to Pin Mill afterwards for a bit of variety.
The session
We run from around 7 am until midday, a focused morning session rather than a full day out, so there's no need to clear your whole Saturday. Exact start time depends on the tide and will be confirmed on booking.
Getting there
Felixstowe's a little further afield than my usual Norfolk coast locations, so it's worth planning your morning around that. You're welcome to leave your car at mine and travel with me for the session (limited to 3 passengers), which takes the stress out of an early, unfamiliar drive; just bear in mind it does add some extra travel time to the round trip given the distance. If you'd rather drive straight to Felixstowe yourself and meet us there, that's absolutely fine too.
What's included
Guidance and support throughout the session from me
A relaxed, sociable winter sunrise with fellow photographers
What's not included
Travel to, during and from the session; food and drinks; car parking costs; and your own camera, personal accident, travel or vehicle breakdown insurance.
A bit about me
I'm a full-time landscape photographer based in Norfolk, with a BA and a Master's degree in photography, and I've been running workshops since 2013. I'm a proud ambassador for five photography brands, I've won and been shortlisted for several awards, and my images have featured in publications and exhibitions. I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity, so we take our time and focus on coming away with a handful of images you're genuinely proud of.
What about the weather, and the classic shot?
Wrap up warm; December mornings on the coast are cold, and we'll be out chasing that winter light regardless. Worth knowing before you book: the classic shot everyone comes for involves climbing up onto the sea wall, so you'll want to be sure-footed and comfortable with that. We'll always put safety first, but it's a genuine part of the experience here.
Fitness & what to expect
Easy to moderate, expect walking on the beach and around the sea defences, plus that climb up onto the sea wall for the classic angle.

Fitness Level: Easy. Gentle walking around the city
There's nowhere better than a historic city after dark, and Norwich on Halloween night has atmosphere in spades. This evening walk is all about night photography in the city — capturing light trails, neon and shop-window reflections, the moody glow of the old streets and lanes, and the buzz of the night. I'll show you how to handle low light, long exposures and tricky mixed lighting to come away with atmospheric, characterful city images. A fun, slightly spooky evening for all levels — tripods recommended.
