Join us for an engaging workshop where you will delve into the world of portrait photography against the backdrop of Manchester's vibrant outdoor settings.
In this inspiring photography class in Manchester, you will learn how to capture striking outdoor portraits by harnessing natural light, mastering composition, understanding poses, and incorporating the environment around you.
During the workshop, you will work with a model to put these techniques into practice and create compelling images to take home.
No need to feel apprehensive if you are new to portrait photography. Our small group setting (with a maximum of four participants) ensures a personalised experience where you can ask questions, receive one-on-one guidance, and feel supported throughout the workshop.
Led by published photographer Priti Shikotra, whose portfolio includes renowned clients like the British Museum and NME, this workshop strikes the perfect balance between theory and hands-on practice.
  • Introduction to Outdoor Portrait Photography
  • Importance of natural lighting, composition, and environmental elements
  • Balancing natural and artificial light
  • Camera settings for outdoor portraits
Discover the transformative power of manipulating settings such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance as you capture dynamic outdoor portraits.
Through guided shooting sessions, you will have the opportunity to experiment with various poses, lighting conditions, and settings while receiving individualised feedback and posing tips from our experienced instructor.
Conclude the workshop by reviewing and critiquing your images, discussing improvements, and gaining additional resources and post-processing tips to enhance your photography skills further.

Hey, I'm Priti!
I'm a professional photographer based in Manchester, with over 10 years of experience photographing musicians, artists, events and people.
My work has appeared in Kerrang! and NME, and I've worked with organisations including the British Museum, Manchester Museum and Manchester International Festival.
Photography has taken me from intimate music venues to major events, and I love sharing the techniques I've picked up along the way.
I also deliver photography workshops for individuals, groups and businesses, helping people feel more confident behind the camera - including the one they carry in their pocket every day.
My approach is relaxed, friendly and practical. You don't need expensive kit or any previous experience. I'll help you understand how to get more out of your smartphone camera, experiment with different techniques and develop your own creative eye.
Whether you're taking photos for fun, capturing your travels, improving your social media content or simply curious about photography, I'd love to help you get more creative.
Come and explore Manchester with me!
