Photographic day workshops | Authentic Adventures

If you're serious about becoming a better photographer, here's an opportunity to have an intensive day of learning with some of the UK's top photographers in their specialist subject areas. We have asked four of our tutors to run one-day workshops for small groups of our clients, each focusing on a different photographic discipline.

How the days work

We are planning to run the days in a variety of UK-based locations for your convenience.

We meet at a venue close to the area where we'll be taking pictures for introductions over coffee, then head out into the field. We then tour the location looking at picture opportunities, discussing how to make the most of them and comparing different approaches. At the end of the day we’ll project our pictures for everyone to see and discuss. Your tutor will be guiding you every step of the way and you can ask as many questions as you like.

The courses are non-residential, which keeps the cost down to between £95 and £135 per day. We limit the courses to eight guests, and to ensure that we get the most from the day we ask all guests to bring a packed lunch. Tea and coffee are provided and breaks are used for reviews and discussion.

There are always bed and breakfast opportunities available locally – do let us know if you require help with these.
