Date: Saturday 14th November 2026
Time: midday to 4pm
Price: £75 per person
Group size: maximum 6 guests
Experience: all levels welcome
Fitness: generally fit, with walking on the beach and around the sea defences
Winter light gives the Norfolk coast a drama of its own, and Happisburgh’s sea defences are an ideal subject for learning how to photograph it. This afternoon workshop is built around the timber groynes, moving sea and changing sky, finishing with the late light towards sunset.
With a small group, there is time for individual help throughout. I’ll work alongside you and help you make deliberate choices about filters, exposure length and composition rather than simply leaving the shutter open and hoping for the best.
We’ll work with Happisburgh’s beach, timber groynes, sea defences, waves and wider coastal landscape. The exact viewpoints will depend on the tide, weather, light and safe access on the day.
I’ll help with exposure timing, neutral-density and graduated filters, focusing, tripod technique and composing around moving water. We’ll look at how different shutter speeds change the character of the sea and how to balance the sky with the foreground.
The workshop runs from midday until 4pm, allowing us to build towards the late-afternoon light. The pace is practical and relaxed, with time to try different exposures and review the results while we are still on location. Final meeting details will be sent to booked guests before the workshop.
• Four hours of small-group photography tuition
• A maximum of six guests
• Practical help with filters, exposure and composition
• A full set of Kase landscape filters available to borrow
Bring a DSLR or mirrorless camera, charged batteries, spare batteries, memory cards, a useful range of lenses, landscape filters if you have them, a sturdy tripod, lens-cleaning kit, camera bag, warm waterproof clothing, sturdy footwear and an umbrella or waterproofs. I have a spare set of landscape filters available to borrow.
• Travel to, during or from the workshop

This is an outdoor coastal workshop in November. The exact plan may change around the tide, weather and safe access. Warm waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear are essential.
I am a full-time photographer based in Norfolk. I have worked commercially since 2011, hold a BA and a Master’s degree in Photography, and have been running photography workshops since 2013. My workshops are practical and relaxed, with small groups, no egos and plenty of individual help.
