At the start of every workshop, we tell people that while it’s good to know the rules, it’s even better to break them. Most people have been told to ‘always shoot into the sun’ or ‘never shoot into the sun’. And even when you do shoot into the sun, you generally don’t actually shoot to get the sun IN the shot.

So this month’s tip is to get adventurous! Try something different, like shooting with the sun actually in your shot. Depending on the time of day you do it, the results could be dramatically different, and that’s half the fun! So play with your camera, shoot into the sun, and break some rules!

If you’re keen to learn more about photography, we’d love to have you along at our next workshop.

Our goal at a Photography Workshop is not only to teach lots of new skills to the participants in the group, it’s also to inspire them. We had a really great group last week who were fun to teach and went away inspired about their photography. Which makes us so happy to be able to share both our passion and our skills. Thanks so much to everyone in the group, we had a wonderful day with you all and look forward to seeing more of your beautiful photos!

Here’s a little peek at what we got up to at the Portrait & Landscape workshop in December ….Thanks to a fabulous group!! And of course, thank you to our beautiful models!

After over 10 years of photographing weddings, I still remember when I started. The absolutely gut wrenching nerves. The questions I wish I could ask someone, but didn’t want anyone to know my weaknesses. I had such passion, and also so much self doubt! I hear from other photographers now how they wish they had someone to fill those gaps. Now that I’m passing the baton on with wedding photography, it’s time for me to leave my legacy, by running wedding workshops that will uncover the secrets I’ve learned to create confidence and my own strong style of wedding photography.

The ever popular portrait and landscape workshop.

We had fantastic models and a great group.

Thanks to all who attended!
