Whitby and Robin hoods bay/Staithes 3 Day workshop
Join us for an unmissable 3-day photography workshop that takes you deep into the heart of Yorkshire’s most iconic coastal treasures: Whitby, Staithes, and Robin Hood’s Bay. This workshop is a blend of exploration, creativity, and technical mastery, designed to inspire photographers of all levels to capture breathtaking images and create unforgettable memories.
Imagine the thrill of photographing Whitby Abbey as it looms dramatically against the evening sky, mastering long-exposure techniques to create silky-smooth water reflections in tranquil harbors, or capturing the vibrant colors of a Yorkshire sunset over the rugged coastline. With expert guidance, you’ll unlock the secrets of crafting compelling compositions, harnessing natural light, and experimenting with creative filters.
As night falls (weather permitting), we’ll delve into the magic of night photography, capturing the stars above Staithes or the atmospheric glow of village lights reflecting in the water. Learn to shoot long exposures that reveal the beauty of the night sky, the motion of waves, or the quiet charm of coastal streets after dark.
From golden-hour seascapes to dramatic clifftop views and the intricate details of fossil-strewn beaches, this workshop is designed to challenge and inspire you. Whether you’re a beginner learning the ropes or an experienced photographer refining your craft, you’ll leave with a portfolio of stunning images and the skills to create even more.
