What's included

Each workshop is a tailored session (often 4-hours, but flexible) where I take you around the city, from the well-known to the less-discovered. We'll walk the streets and focus on whatever is important to you – photographing people, framing and composition, mastering exposure, or setting up your camera.

Scotland can often have four seasons in one day, so come prepared for all weather conditions! I recommend dressing in layers and bringing waterproofs just in case.

Workshop options

Every workshop can be geared towards what you want to learn or experience:

01

Undiscovered Edinburgh vs Popular Spots

Choose between Edinburgh's iconic locations you've always wanted to photograph, lesser-known areas that most tourists won't see, or a mix of both!

02

Camera & Settings

Perfect if you want to understand your camera better. We can work through aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and how to use them creatively for street photography. Fujifilm is my speciality, but any camera is welcome.

03

Composition

For those comfortable with their camera but wanting to improve their eye. We'll explore framing, light, layers, and what makes a street photograph work.

04

Guide-Only Mode

If you already know what you're doing, I can take you to the best spots and let you shoot, offering feedback only if and when you want it.
