One-to-one Street Photography Workshop in London

Capture the heart of London's streets on this hands-on street photography class in London.



3 hours Class size 1 on 1       £149 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

This is a private one to one fine art street photography workshop, meaning you will be the only participant on the session. The workshop is fully tailored to you and designed to help you see London differently, find beauty and interest in everyday scenes, and create more considered and compelling street photographs.
Whether you are completely new to photography or already experienced with a camera, the session is shaped around your level, your interests, and the way you like to photograph. We’ll explore carefully chosen locations across London, looking for strong compositions, interesting light, shapes, textures, people and moments that can be transformed into fine art street photographs.
Throughout the three hour session, I’ll share my personal approach to street photography, including how I look for compositions, work with light and shadow, anticipate moments, use the environment, and turn ordinary scenes into photographs with a stronger visual and artistic quality. You’ll receive hands on guidance throughout, with the pace and focus adjusted entirely to you.
The workshop is relaxed, informal and creative rather than a formal classroom style lesson. There is no set formula for making a great photograph and I’ll encourage you to develop your own way of seeing rather than simply copying mine.
The aim is to help you slow down, look more carefully at the world around you, and come away with a better understanding of fine art street photography, new skills and a collection of images you are genuinely proud of.
What you'll get
A private photography experience with individual tuition throughout the session, helping you improve your street photography skills, technique, confidence, and creative eye.

I have been capturing the vibrant energy of London through street and urban photography for years. My journey started with a fascination for Brutalist architecture, which grew into a broader love for finding beauty in the overlooked corners of the city.
Teaching photography excites me because it is a chance to share my passion and knowledge with others. I believe that photography is all about perspective and seeing the world differently, and I love helping others discover how to do that. Whether it is guiding a beginner on their first photo walk or helping someone refine their technique, I find great joy in the process.
Through my work, I have developed a natural, spontaneous approach to shooting. I have never been one for rigid plans; I prefer to let the city and the people within it guide me. That is the same philosophy I bring to my workshops: it is all about embracing the moment, experimenting, and learning by doing.
I have been honing my skills over the years and am excited to offer a more personal, hands-on experience through these workshops. I look forward to seeing you out there, exploring the streets and capturing images you will be proud of.
