Feedback
Thank you for a really enjoyable 1:1 morning workshop. Not only do I feel far more confident with making full use of the camera, but I now understand the importance of manipulating light to get the very best from a picture. I'm really looking forward to trying to put into practice what I have learnt!

We had a fantastic morning learning to use our digital slr camera with Mark at Trebarwith. We've owned the camera for 3 years and never learned how to use any of the functions beyond automatic settings. Mark explained how to use speed and light settings to create different effects and we practiced all morning in and around the stunning cliffs taking portraits and sea/landscapes. Mark's relaxed style, knowledge of photography and the local area made for a fantastic morning. If you've got a great camera but have never used it to it's full potential then I'd definitely recommend this workshop.

The minimum equipment you will need is a Digital Camera or 35mm film camera. Ideal would be an SLR Camera (Single Lens Reflex), tripod if you have or can borrow, wide angle lens, telephoto lens, spare batteries and memory cards or b&w film. Your camera's manual can be useful.
The workshops will run come rain or shine, in fact some of my favourite images have been taken in the rain on grey days. Also we often get all sorts of weather in one day, I have learnt to go with it and let it add to the landscape.
As we will be spending most of the time outside you will also need waterproof clothing, comfortable walking shoes and a holdall or rucksack to carry your equipment.
Clients can be picked up in Polzeath area.
Workshops make an ideal present, team building activity or a great day to include when on holiday.
Workshops should be booked 36 hours in advance, but I am flexible.
