Dibs Photography

Norfolk Coast and the broads Landscape Photography One-2-One,

Is it for me?

After being asked numerous times 'will you ever be running a  One-2-One session' I have decided to do just that.

Just get in contact before booking to arrange a suitable date and we will take it from there.

I have included the option to run the session with a friend at a discounted cost for both of you.

This workshop is aimed at anybody who has a very basic understanding of the manual controls on their DSLR/CSC camera, right through to people who know how to use their camera and just want to improve their photographic practice.

Where will the workshop start?

We can either start at a predetermined location that is convenient for you, or the session can start at Dibs's house, you can then be driven in his car for the duration of the 1-2-1 session.

Just let me know what way you prefer when booking, or enquire beforehand to arrange the date of the session as well.

How do I teach on the Norfolk Coast Landscape Photography One-2-One?

The day will be filled with landscape photography tuition out on location in Norfolk. 

The session will focus on the landscapes in the well-known areas of the Norfolk coast and Broads depending on the start location you prefer.

This is one student to one tutor session, so you know you will get all the help that is needed to maximize your learning from the day.

The day will be solely tailored around your needs, so in brief, you will have somebody to show you what to look out for in creating those perfect images before you have even got the camera out of the camera bag.

By the end of the session you have a full understanding of what all the settings on your camera do and get you away from shooting automatic modes, you will be taking control of your camera and the settings and letting the creativity start to flow.

What experience do I have as a tutor?

All day while shooting we will be discussing the theory behind making work, what stands out and what sells, what makes a good image and how can we get that image we see into our cameras. This comes off the back of my many years of commercial photography experience and time spent studying photography as an art form.

You know you will be in good hands during the sessions with me.

I spent over 4 years of teaching and writing workshops for all levels and ages of photographers for the country's biggest photographic retailer Wex Photo Video.

As one of the ambassadors for Formatt-Hitech filters, a UK based, yet one of the world's largest landscape filter companies, they fully support me in my work and pass on my knowledge of photography as I meet their high standards of excellence through my sessions.

5 years studying landscape and architecture photography to Master's degree level with some of the best mentors and tutors the country has, 

I have also picked up a few awards along the way and I have exhibited and been published worldwide, just check out my Shows and Awards page

Extra information.

Please bring along snacks and drinks as due to the locations we will be shooting having limited facilities. There will not be a guarantee of a shop being nearby at all times.

We will stop for a hot drink and a bite to eat at some point throughout the day, this is not covered in the workshop cost.

I will be able to lend you a full setup of Landscape filters to cover every shooting scenario. This will allow you to experiment with different effects under expert guidance. But if you are interested in landscape photography we would encourage you to invest in a setup. I can advise you on what kit to get as it can be a little daunting looking at what you may or may not need.

I also have a discount code for buying filters. You can get an automatic 10% off all filters on the Formatt-Hitech Filters site by using the code DIBSM10 at the checkout.

I will email you all the specific details about locations after booking,  but if you have any questions before booking then please do get in contact
