This is a residential photography weekend exploring the Norfolk coast at its most characterful, traditional seaside villages, wide sandy beaches and the dramatic, eroding coastline at Happisburgh, one of the most photographed and talked-about stretches of coast in the country. From sweeping dunes to Norfolk's much-loved piers, there's a genuinely rich mix of scenes packed into just a few days.

Just 3 places, and here's why

I keep this trip deliberately small. Three guests means everyone gets proper, personal attention, nobody's jostling for space at the good spots, and, practically, you all fit comfortably in my van, so I can chauffeur the group from location to location for the weekend. The van's kitted out too; there's 240V mains power on board, so if your batteries start running low you can top them straight back up, which is a real lifesaver for drone batteries especially, and I've got a camping stove in the back for tea and coffee, so there's always a hot brew on the go between shoots. No convoy, no getting lost, just turn up and shoot.

Who this trip is for

This one's a step up from my day workshops. It's for photographers who've got the basics under their belt, a working understanding of the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) and how to shoot in manual. If you're comfortable there, you're ready. Everything beyond that- composition, filters, long exposures, reading the conditions- is exactly what we'll build on together over the weekend.

(Brand new to your camera? My one-day workshops are the better place to start; drop me a line, and I'll point you the right way.)

Where we'll shoot

Norfolk's coastline is a brilliant mix of the dramatic and the picturesque. We'll spend time at Happisburgh, where the North Sea has been steadily reshaping the coast and created some genuinely striking, atmospheric scenes, alongside classic sandy beaches, rolling dunes and one of Norfolk's charming piers. Over the weekend we'll take in two main locations along with our sunrise and sunset sessions, giving you a properly varied set of images from just a few days on your doorstep.

A typical day

  • Friday: Meet mid-afternoon at our first location, a sunset shoot to start things off, then check in at the accommodation followed by a dinner outing.

  • Saturday: Up for a sunrise shoot, back to the accommodation for breakfast, then a full day of photography through to sunset, followed by a dinner outing.

  • Sunday: One last sunrise shoot, breakfast back at the accommodation, check out, then a second location shoot before heading home mid-afternoon.

A friendly, unhurried pace throughout, with plenty of time to actually enjoy where you are.

Where you'll stay

You'll have your own private room in well-located accommodation, right in the heart of the area we're shooting. A light breakfast is provided each morning: cereal, toast, orange juice, tea and coffee, to set you up before a sunrise start. Lunches, dinners and snacks aren't included, which keeps the price down and the days flexible; we'll head out for dinner together on the Friday and Saturday evenings.

Getting there, the easy bit

This one's right on the doorstep if you're local, so if you're driving yourself, you'll simply meet us at our first location on the Friday afternoon. Coming from further afield? I'm based in Norwich and happy to arrange collection from Norwich train station or Norwich Airport; just let me know your travel details and we'll sort the timing between us.

What's included

  • Accommodation with your own private room

  • Light breakfast each morning

  • Transport during the workshop itself

  • Collection from Norwich train station or Norwich Airport, if you need it

  • Loan of landscape filters and a tripod if you need them

  • Hands-on, personal photography tuition from start to finish

What's not included

Lunches, dinners, snacks and alcoholic drinks; travel to Norwich if you're making your own way; and your own camera equipment and personal travel 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. But honestly, what people tend to remember from these trips isn't the CV; it's the relaxed, no-pressure, no-egos atmosphere, and coming home with photographs they're genuinely proud of.

What about the weather?

Norfolk's coast can throw a real mix of conditions at us, and we'll head out and make the most of whatever we get. Some of our locations involve working on unpaved paths and near cliff edges, particularly at Happisburgh, so suitable footwear and all-weather clothing are essential. Safety always comes first, with dynamic risk assessments carried out throughout the weekend.

Fitness & what to expect

You'll want to be generally fit; the furthest walk from the van is around 40 minutes.
