A Very Special Workshop

For this one-off workshop, I will be taking a maximum of 5 photographers onto one of my favorite locations to recreate some very special images based on those taken from my 2009 Naiad shoot*.

You will be given the opportunity to shoot a nude model in afternoon and evening light at low tide, beside the remains of the Danish Schooner “Hans Egede” on the banks of the Thames deep in Kent.  Under my expert guidance and lighting, you will get a once in a lifetime opportunity to get truly unique and beautiful images for your portfolio. You will have full model release to upload to stock libraries, promote yourself or sell prints.

My regular team of make-up artist and assistants will be on hand to help you stay safe and get the most out of the workshop. if you have ever wondered what its like to manage a challanging location shoot in interesting conditions now is your chance to find out.

This is a strictly first come first served offer and not for the faint hearted. It will not be repeated. Once all five places are filled there will be no more entries.

This Workshop will take place between 13:00 and 22:00 on Friday 26 of August, subject to to extreme weather.

This workshop will use a combination of HMI, and Tungsten lighting to provide ambient fill We will then teach you how to balance that with the flash packs you will be using when you leave you will have had the chance to work with a full pro lighting system as well as a professional model. Giving you some great images as well as the knowledge and confidence to go out there and do it for yourself.
