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.

Epic!!

I did a full day workshop with Mike on 13/11/25.

What. A. Fantastic. Day!!!

Really well organised and well communicated in advance. Easy meet up venue. Really well thought out walking route to photogenic places which have clearly generated previous photo success for Mike and previous clients. Mike quickly got me into the mindset of spotting photo opportunities in reflections, side streets and shop windows without feeling self conscious about snapping away. Such a brilliant opportunity.

And what a great chap! So easy to get on with and spend the day chatting with about photography, dogs, life etc etc!!

HIGHLY recommended. I’ll definitely be back for another session next year.

Gordon
