2 Days | Dorset | Limited to 5 people
£450 per person
Date: 2nd & 3rd February 2026
Join me for a thoughtfully paced 2-day winter photography workshop along the dramatic Dorset Jurassic Coast - a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its geology, cliffs, and ever-changing coastal light.
This workshop is designed for photographers who want to slow down, shoot with intention, and deepen their creative approach, while making the most of winter’s softer light and quieter landscapes.
With just 5 participants, the experience is intimate, supportive, and focused, allowing plenty of individual guidance both in the field and during discussions.
What’s Included
2 sunrise shoots at carefully chosen coastal locations
2 sunset shoots, timed to make the most of winter light
Extensive guided photography sessions along the Jurassic Coast
In-depth photography discussions covering composition, light, and creative approach
At least one editing session, working through images together
A relaxed, small-group environment with plenty of time for questions and exploration
Locations
We’ll work across some of the best photography locations on the Dorset Jurassic Coast, selected based on conditions, tides, and light. Possible locations may include:
Durdle Door & Man O’ War Cove
Lulworth Cove & Stair Hole
Kimmeridge Bay
Swanage & Banjo Pier
Corfe Castle
Old Harry Rocks
Exact locations will be confirmed closer to the workshop to ensure the best possible photographic opportunities.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is suited to:
Enthusiast and intermediate photographers
DSLR or mirrorless users (all brands welcome)
Anyone looking to develop confidence in coastal photography and creative decision-making
You should be comfortable walking short coastal paths and working outdoors in winter conditions. Please note the walk over from Lulworth to Durdle Door is hilly and quite strenuous so a moderate fitness level could be required.
Accommodation & Meals
Accommodation is not included, but I’m happy to help recommend local options for those travelling in.
We’ll aim to have dinner together as a group in the evening (optional). Meals are not included in the workshop price. But I will pre book somewhere close to these locations for ease.
What to Expect:
We will meet on the afternoon / evening of 1st February once everyone has arrived for hellos and an introduction to the workshop.
We will then be ready to start shooting the following morning, heading out for a sunrise on location, and the rest of the itinerary will follow from there…. This will have a rough plan as follows, but please note this may be subject to change on the basis of weather conditions.
