Darren obviously put a lot of thought into the locations picked with regard to tides, direction of light, etc. Even though it was a long day , starting at 6:15am and finishing at 20:15 and Darren managed to keep the group occupied and enthused for the duration. I’ve been on many workshops and this one was top tier in terms of value for money and education. I will definitely be back for more.

Testimonial

My expectation was to hopefully become more familiar with the functionality of my camera and to learn something of shooting and composition.The experience exceeded my expectations as Darren was extremely knowledgeable as well as an effective teacher. Example - we talked first about what I was hoping to get out of the session , then he explained what he planned for the day. He listened and was able to give clear instruction re:; camera operation as well as his experience s with taking pictures”
