If you are reading this, you seem to have survived the festivities and the transition into the new year. Congratulations and a very snappy new year to you. I think this may just be a good moment to let it be known that I am hosting a lovely little photography workshop this February, the xxth.

This workshop is a chance for a small group of people (6 participants) to delve deeply into photography with me, specifically the type of unconstrained nude portraiture that I love so much.

I have an unwavering passion for making honest, evocative, timeless and at times somewhat raw portraits / art nudes and I would love to share my experience and insights with those who share similar passions. I am by no means a teacher but a completely self-taught photographer with a whole lot of experience, know-how and love for this medium. Expect this workshop to be very informal and conversational in approach and tone. This is not really for those that are into lots of technological photography geekery but it is rather a chance to explore the processes and decision making that tends to result in strong, compelling images. I will freely share my own practices, processes and approach but the focus will ultimately be in helping you find, or hone, your own personal approach.

I am running this workshop with my partner in crime who happens to also be an exquisite model, Bo / Silas (@neptunesgoddaughter) As someone who endeavours to make imagery that is rather intimate, I am of the view that the voices of the people we capture are incredibly important and so Bo will not merely model for us but will be an integral, important part of the conversation.

Even though I personally happen to work with old analogue cameras, this workshop is in no way exclusive to those that share that particular mad inclination. It is open to everyone who harbours a love for creating photographs of other humans, no matter what cameras you use.

To be clear, to participate in this, you will have to be comfortable not only with photographing nudes but also to be able to be respectful in the light of it. This workshop will be held in a private house, containing a small studio, and the focus will be on making it a rich, relaxed way of exploring photography for a day.

List of things they can expect? Rough schedule

If you know that you want to participate in this, do reach out as soon as possible so you can reserve your place. First come, first served. Also, if you wish, do let me know when you book what specific aspects you might be particularly interested in. This will allows us to shape the workshop somewhat to the specific interests of the participants on the day.

Workshop will be held in a private abode in Belvedere, SE London (not far from Abbey Wood / Elizabeth line). Time 3-3. Simple lunch included.
