How the Workshop Works

Tell Me What You Want to Improve
When you enquire, you will share your experience level, camera setup, preferred workshop length and what you would like to focus on. This helps me understand whether you are interested in street photography, architecture, cityscapes, long exposure or a mix of different styles.
I Plan a Personalised London Route
I will create a route based on your interests, goals and preferred photography style. No two workshops are exactly the same. Depending on your goals, the route may include iconic London locations, quieter hidden spots, modern architecture, riverside viewpoints or strong street photography areas.
We Shoot Together in Real Life Situations & Locations
During the workshop you will receive hands-on guidance while photographing around London. Rather than sitting in a classroom, you will learn by shooting in real conditions, adapting to the light, the location and the moments happening around you.
You Leave With Practical Skills
By the end of the workshop, you will have a better understanding of your camera, stronger composition skills and more confidence creating images in London and beyond.

Excellent Workshop!

I had one of the best photo workshop experiences with MIke! It was well planned out and quite enjoyable going to the various locations around London for different types of photography. I found Mine to be quite knowledgeable in the field of photography as well as extremely personable and fun to shoot with. I learned a lot in the one on one workshop and didn’t want it to end! I think as a result of taking the workshop my photography has definitely improved. I wouldn’t hesitate to take it again the next time I’m in London.

Great Experience!

On January 15, 2026, I met up with Mike for a full day workshop around London. Honestly, this was one of the best photo walks and photo courses I have experienced. Despite the constant rain all-day long, Mike made the most of the weather conditions to demonstrate some epic photographic techniques. I will be looking to set up another workshop soon and would strongly recommend him to anyone.
