WELCOME

earn by doing, learn from skilled teachers – and learn in the company
of like-minded individuals who share your passion. That’s what the
photography workshops, courses and holidays contained within these
pages are all about. They aim to inform, inspire and entertain – they also help
to bridge the gap between knowledge and experience. Whether it’s a one-day
training near your home or a week on the other side of the globe; whether you’re
a professional or beginner, you’re sure to discover what you need to take your
photography to another level.
To whet your appetite and help get you in the mood for discovery, we’ve also
included an array of features from top photographers that share their tips and
techniques to help you get the most out of your camera.
To be the best we can, we must never stop learning. So book the course that’s right
for you, pick up your camera, pack a spare battery, and remember the words of the
great Imogen Cunningham: ‘Which of my photographs is my favourite? The one
I’m going to take tomorrow.’

TOP TIPS
1. Be well prepared for
your trip.
2. Know your equipment
and how to use it.
3. Find a way to support
your equipment, especially
when using fast shutter
speeds or long lenses.
Improvise if necessary.
4. Trust local knowledge
about where to get the
best shots.
5. Be patient! Observing
or tracking wildlife takes
time. You may need to
return to the same place
a number of times to get
the shots you want.
6. Get close to the action
by using a long lens.
However, a wideangle lens
gives a better sense of
habitat and you can shoot
spectacular landscapes.
7. Get down low with your
camera. Try and get an
eye level perspective or
get down lower if you can
for more impact.
8. Enjoy the moment,
stay safe and have fun.

is the same as the development

the aim is to keep it as simple
