Macro Photography Workshop in Yorkshire 22-23rd of May

I really excited to start doing macro photography workshops in Yorkshire. I've been planning on setting these up for some time and it was always about finding the right location which allowed a mix of classroom space and proximity to good macro photography sites. 

The workshop is aimed at people with some photography skills who have a camera and a macro lens.

The workshop will be over two days and will be a balance of learning new skills and techniques  indoors and then practising these skills and learning field craft at some great macro sites outdoors.

I'll be covering all the techniques and skills I've developed over the last 15 years.

The group will meet at lunch time on 22/5/2026 and we will be based initially inside to cover;

• Introductions
• Basics of macro photography
• Different types of macro photography

Followed by macro walk onsite and then back inside and we will cover;

• Early morning macro photography in detail

Wrap up for the day and then the following day we will meet before dawn (approximately 4:30am) at the site and head to a close-by macro site to practise early morning macro photography .

Back inside to cover hand held macro photography in detail and then back out into the field to practise handheld macro photography.

We will then head back inside to wrap up the session in the early afternoon to allow people to travel home.

During this time of the year we could find various species and the morning session will be mostly trying to find dragonflies and damselflies hopefully with some morning dew, of course weather dependant. This time in May a number of different species have emerged and can be present.

During the day session we could find various species of jumping spiders, robberflies, some butterflies an common lizards. If we are lucky some early ruby tailed wasps, again, weather dependant.

This course will be about getting the skills and techniques for this type of photography and then taking these home to practise and hone.

The course will also cover the ethical considerations of macro photography and our impact on these sensitive areas.

The cost of the workshop will be £150 (this an introductory price for the 1st of these workshops) and will be limited to 3 people

• The costs will cover all tuition over the two days
• All travel once arrived at the site and within the day (but not the travel before or after the days start/finish)
• A macro photography zoom call after the event at the clients convince to discuss what has been learnt and help feedback on progress
• Teas and coffees while at the site

The cost doesn’t cover accommodation, food or individual insurance during the two days.
