Three-Day Coastal Photography Workshop in North Yorkshire

Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay & Staithes

Join us for a three-day photography workshop along the North Yorkshire coast, exploring the iconic villages of Whitby, Staithes, and Robin Hood’s Bay. This workshop is designed for photographers who want to capture the drama and beauty of the British coastline while developing their technical and creative skills in the field.

From long exposures of crashing waves to golden-hour shots over historic harbours, this coastal photography experience offers hands-on instruction, expert guidance, and access to some of the most photogenic locations in the UK. Whether you're just starting out or refining your craft, you'll leave with a stronger portfolio and a deeper understanding of how to work with light, composition, and mood.

Workshop Overview

Each day is built around sunrise and sunset shoots, with flexible scheduling to adapt to changing weather and light conditions. You’ll photograph dramatic clifftop views, textured shorelines, and the quiet charm of fishing villages carved into the landscape.

Evening sessions (weather permitting) include night photography, with opportunities to capture stars over Staithes or the glow of village lights reflected in tidal pools. You’ll learn how to shoot long exposures, manage low-light conditions, and create atmospheric images that tell a story.
