Date: 10am-4pm, Tuesday 5th May 2026

Location: Woodhill Park Estate, Shropshire - a stunning 18th-century Estate owned by Syrie Johnson and Nicolas Biegman. It is a fabulous place to practice photography - a beautiful interior, stunning flower gardens, sculptures, historic glasshouses and has beautifully converted stables where we will be based for the day. We will use the interior to learn how you can set up your own photographic space.

Cost: £150 to include two course lunch

Limited to 8 participants (to ensure plenty of one-on-one guidance)

Join us for a hands-on, immersive workshop designed to help you capture stunning images of your craft, your florals and growing spaces.

What to Expect

We’ll start with the fundamentals of taking creative control of your camera, covering:

• Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO – understanding how these settings work together

• Light and composition – how to work with light to create compelling images

From there, we’ll practice photographing both inside and outside - taking our cameras into Syrie's stunning flower garden, applying what we’ve learned to various setups

Practical Sessions

• Practice how to set up the best photographic area in your workspace

• Photograph subjects (both inside and outside) -experimenting with different backdrops, lighting conditions, and compositions

• Use a selection of props to tell a visual story through your images

For those interested, we will also explore how to use:

• Artificial light, diffusers, and reflectors to enhance your shots when needed

• Editing software – a brief introduction to editing 

What to Bring

The course is designed for cameras that allow aperture priority or manual mode, including DSLR, mirrorless, compact, or bridge cameras

• Not sure if your camera is suitable? Email me the make and model!

• If you have a tripod, bring it along (We’ll also have some available to borrow)

Extras

A workshop handout summarising key concepts will be provided

Lunch & Refreshments: A delicious two course lunch will be provided as well as teas and coffees. Please let us know of any dietary requirements

Syrie and myself can't wait to welcome you for a day of creativity, learning, and beautiful photography!
