The quickest way is to book online through the Services section of the website. Choose your date, follow the booking steps and pay securely by card or PayPal. Nice and straightforward.

If you’re not sure, just tell me what you want to learn, your experience level and the kind of photography you enjoy most. I’ll help you work out whether a one-to-one session, workshop or something more focused is the best fit for you. Simple.

The best way to get more information for instance if you are not sure which course would best suit you or at what skill level you are at is to use the contact form to get hold of me directly. Leave me a phone number and we can make sure the course meets all your needs.

I am generally pretty flexible about where I run my courses. This is usually based on where the client lives or if they have any particular preference. I cover all the counties around Nottinghamshire (Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire and Yorkshire). I will always discuss with my clients before hand to get the best location to achieve the best results.

Although the scheduling system on the website gives fixed times for my courses they are in fact extremely flexible. As photographers we know that great light is often dawn and dusk, and as this occurs at different times throughout the year then start and finishes reflect this. I also take into consideration the wishes of the client. As an example if a client has a long journey to get to the location we have decided on and the course is in June they might rather decide to catch the evening light rather than being up at 2am to get to the site for sunrise.

Not always. Some locations have visitor facilities, while others are much more basic. If that matters to you, let me know before you book and I’ll help you choose a location that suits the day.

Some sites will have a visitors centre with cafe and toilet facilities and other will have very little. Again I discuss possible locations with each client individually before the day. Now is the time I really rely on my clients to let me know what site they would prefer. I also usually carry supplies of water and coffee in my van as well rudimentary toilet facilities for emergencies!

I’ll stay in touch right up to the day. If the forecast looks poor, unsafe or likely to spoil the session, I’ll usually suggest moving it. A bit of dramatic weather can be brilliant for photography, but if it’s going to get in the way of you learning and enjoying yourself, we’ll reschedule for better conditions.
