Our client have had widely varying levels of knowledge and experience from beginners wanting to learn how to switch from the full auto mode on their camera to experienced DSLR users.

* Avoiding camera shake
* Using a tripod for landscape photography
* Using neutral density, graduated and polarising filters

When do sessions take place?
The one-to-one tuition day is arranged on a date to suit you. Most sessions take place on weekdays, as Paul is often exhibitiing his photographs at shows at weekends. In the Winter, when days are short the tuition days are timed to take in both a sunrise and sunset. In Summer, the sessions normally start early (before sunrise), and finish around mid afternoon, or start around lunchtime, and finish after sunset. Session timing is completely flexible and discussed and agreed with the client.
How fit do I need to be to attend a session?
If the participant has any mobility restriction, these are taken into account in planning the day. there are many attractive locations that are closely vehicle accessible, although the final approach may be over somewhat rough paths. For those who are without mobility restrictions, a greater range of locations are available, and the day will be planned with a combination of vehicle and walking transfers between locations depending on distance and the availability of parking.

Really loved the tuition and the way Paul used his knowledge to improve my pictures and point of view. - Carlo |

Improving composition was very important to me. I am often impatient. I learned to take some time, look better, and try several positions before making the final pictures. - Bram |
The locations were brilliant. As well as being a great day out walking around Bolton Abbey, all the locations provided a great variety of photo opportunities with different ways to use the camera. -James |
