Reflections of Bruges

Light & Land Tour

Thanks to its canals and more than 80 bridges, Bruges is often referred to as Venice of the North. Most of its period architecture remains intact making Bruges one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. Cobblestone streets, windmills and spires add to its charm. Our tour will take place in early December when the light is low, and shadows are long. 

A Unesco World Heritage Site, Bruges is a photographer’s heaven, offering us countless views along its canals spanned by bridges, each of which has its own character. The reflections in the water feature all colours under the sun and resemble those found in Venice. We will have ample opportunity to photograph intricate architectural details and pastel-coloured houses with distinctive crow-stepped gables.

No photographic trip to Bruges would be complete without wandering along the straight canals just a stone’s throw away from the city. We will spend a few hours exploring the seemingly endless vistas and tree-lined avenues, which will allow us to create atmospheric images in whatever weather we may encounter at that time of the year.

Santorini Photography Tour

I am thrilled to be returning to this spectacular Greek island for what promises to be a feast of photographic opportunities.

Many of the villages of Santorini are perched on the edge of one of the most spectacular volcanic calderas on the planet. The magnificent views from the edge of the caldera take in picturesque villages scattered with the exquisite blue domed churches for which the Greek island is famed.

Andalucia - Almond Blossom and Architecture

Andalucia is arguably the most exotic and stunning region in all of Spain. With its remarkable architecture and breathtaking landscape the region has evolved into a wonderful amalgam of Moorish culture and recent Spanish tradition.

Every year in February, the hills and valleys of the magnificent Las Alpujarras become clothed in a sea of pale pink blossom as hundreds of thousands of almond trees burst into life with a truly memorable show that can be seen from many kilometres away.

Yorkshire Dales - Meadows, Barns and Waterfalls

For this tour, I will team up with Charlie Waite, the founder of Light & Land.

The Yorkshire Dales are unrivalled in their dramatic limestone crags, rivers, gorges, caves and escarpments rising and falling from the classic farming dales shaped by man over hundreds of years. No matter how many times you see the veritable jigsaw of meadows, dry stone walls, field barns and farmhouses, you cannot fail to be awed by the work that has continued to make the Dales what they are today.

Cosmopolitan Liverpool - with Charlie Waite

The ‘Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City’ was a UNESCO World Heritage Site from 2004 to 2021 - testament to the historical significance of the development of port and city, which accelerated in the 18th century and has taken an interesting positive turn lately. We will start our workshop at Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral, a spectacular building, the likes of which one is hard pressed to find elsewhere. The group will then move to the city’s waterfront with its eclectic mix of old and new architecture, where we will have countless opportunities to capture Liverpool’s cosmopolitan character and rustic charm.

Bath Impressions

Light & Land Workshop

Nestled in a cosy corner of the south west of England, and only an hour and a half on the train from the capital, Bath has one of the most atmospheric, and photogenic city centres in the UK. Blessed with some of the finest Georgian architecture this country has to offer, including the famed Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge et al, it’s a treasure trove of historical quirk and charm. And at Christmas time, with its host of independent shops and restaurants, it truly comes alive.

Our workshop will concentrate on developing our skills in what are often referred to as “Creative Photography” techniques, in particular Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and In Camera Multiple Exposures.

I will be joining forces with Bill Ward. Bill is a regular writer/contributor for the worldwide ICM Photography Magazine, and is particularly evangelical about the ability of Creative Photography to get right under the skin of a place, a time, a feeling, and reveal their very essence.

DOCKLANDS TO DUSK

Light & Land Workshop

As the river Thames snakes its way from the Isle of Dogs to Westminster, it serves as the focus for our Docklands to Dusk workshop. We will use the day to explore both old and new in London’s skyline, starting in Docklands and finishing just after sunset near London Bridge.

'Manhattan' style skyscrapers towering over medieval churches, docks, water, bridges - our programme for the day is an architectural feast for all styles of photography, with opportunities to shoot long exposures, water abstracts and whatever other opportunity comes our way... I will be on hand to offer guidance on composition and to help you master new skills with your camera, no matter whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level. You are sure to go home with a memory card full of fine new images and some new skills to use in the future.
