Photography and video day for florists and growers - using phone cameras

Date: Monday 7th July

Location: Stokesay Flowers - a stunning flower garden set in the old walled kitchen garden at Stokesay Court, Shropshire.

Cost: £130

Limited to 6 participants (to ensure plenty of one-on-one guidance)

Join me and Victoria from Stokesay Flowers for a hands-on, immersive workshop designed to help you capture stunning images and video of florals and growing spaces.

What to Expect

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

  • Looking into the settings that can be changed on phones - to you help take better images and video

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

From there, we’ll take our phones into Victoria and Barney’s stunning flower garden, applying what we’ve learned to various floral setups.

Practical Sessions

  • Photograph floral arrangements using flowers from the garden

  • Experiment with different backdrops, lighting conditions, and compositions

  • Capture the beauty and story of the walled garden

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

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 those using phone cameras of any type - no matter how old! Remember to free up space in the memory. More tips on how to prepare for the day will be sent out before the course.

There will be workshop handouts based on the main concepts that we cover on the day.
