Join me for an immersive single-day photography workshop in Co. Clare, home to some of Ireland's most iconic landscapes. From sunrise to sunset, you'll capture the dramatic cliffs, rugged coastline, and picturesque villages under expert guidance.

What’s Covered:

  • Photography Process: Understand the journey of capturing a photograph, from initial approach to the final shot.

Add to this, dramatic cliffs, ancient geology & incredible energy which will have you always hungry for more. Buckle up, you are about to head on a photography adventure like no other to the truly magical, haunting & highly addictive world of Co. Clare.

While I have my camera a long time I am still a beginner. I wish I had met Darren and done this tuition years ago when I first purchased the camera. I won’t dwell on it but I have left so many amazing shots behind by not having the basics of the exposure triangle! Shooting from now on should be much improved and the cheat sheets provided after the day will help me reinforce what I learned. Darren was very clear in his instructions and very thorough in his pre work. This made for a really productive and enjoyable day.
