Passion & Expertise:
As an avid lover of the hills and mountains, I’m passionate about capturing the beauty of these epic landscapes through photography. With over 8 years of experience leading workshops across the UK, I’m dedicated to sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge with you. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, I’ll help you develop your skills and capture stunning images you’ll be proud of.
Personalised Approach:
- Small groups (max 4): I keep my workshops small, with a maximum of 4 participants, to ensure you receive dedicated attention and plenty of 1-2-1 tuition. This allows me to tailor my instruction to your individual needs and provide personalised feedback throughout the day.
- All abilities welcome: My workshops are designed to be inclusive and cater to all skill levels. Whether you’re just starting your photography journey or looking to refine your existing techniques, I’ll provide the guidance and support you need to progress.
- Diverse locations: We’ll explore a variety of stunning landscapes across the UK, from the iconic peaks of the Peak District and Snowdonia to the dramatic scenery of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. I’ll help you discover both well-known viewpoints and hidden gems, offering a unique and inspiring experience.
Safety & Knowledge:
- Qualified Mountain Leader: As a qualified Mountain Leader, your safety is my top priority, especially when venturing into challenging terrain. I have the skills and knowledge to navigate safely in the hills and mountains, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone.
- Intimate location knowledge: I’ve spent countless hours exploring and photographing the locations we’ll visit, gaining an intimate knowledge of the landscape and the best spots for capturing stunning images. I’ll share this knowledge with you, helping you find the perfect compositions and make the most of the available light.
Focus on Your Learning:
- Comprehensive tuition: Throughout the workshop, I’ll provide comprehensive tuition on a range of photography techniques, including composition, camera settings, working with light, using filters, exposure blending, and focusing methods. I’ll also be on hand to answer any questions you may have and offer personalised advice.
- My camera rarely leaves the bag: My focus is entirely on teaching you and helping you improve your photography. I rarely take my own camera out on workshops, ensuring that my attention is fully dedicated to your learning and development. It only comes out if I am happy the group is set up.
- Weather contingency plans: The UK weather can be unpredictable, but I always have contingency plans in place. I’ll adapt the itinerary to suit the conditions, ensuring we make the most of every situation. Even in less-than-ideal weather, there are still plenty of opportunities to learn and capture stunning images.
Flexible payment options: I offer a range of flexible payment options, including Klarna, PayPal Credit, and other methods, to make booking your workshop as easy as possible.

I personally learned so much from James about composition and focusing techniques that I cannot wait to on more of James workshops and develop my technique. His choice of location was excellent and his in depth knowledge of the area ensured we maximised our time at the right locations and the right times.
– Mark Worley
I attended James’ Skye workshop and can’t recommend James highly enough. He clearly loves the place and has a great knowledge of the locations as well as the best conditions and light to visit them in. He has a relaxed, patient approach and is very generous with his photographic knowledge and experience. I was particularly impressed that he rarely got his own camera out, he was focussed on helping us improve our skills rather than making his own shots.
– Derek Robison
This was my second trip with James, I have found him to be a gifted photographer who is prepared to share his knowledge with other aspiring photographers whatever their level of expertise.
– Norman Christie
I really enjoyed the day. I learnt a lot, got to explore some new places and came away with some nice shots.
I would definitely recommend his workshops. I feel so much more confident now.
– Laura Smith
I have been on two of James’ workshops, one to Saddleworth Moor and the other Chrome Hill. Its nice to go on two workshops to confirm what you had been learning on the first and practice in-between. James is easy-going, making sure the four participants on the workshop get the help they need
– Tess Bramall
I recently spent three days on a workshop in the Peak District with James and had an awesome time. James is incredibly knowledgeable about landscape photography and the location itself. He is an excellent teacher, whose enthusiasm comes through. I learned a lot from James and will definitely be visiting the Peak District again.
