This is a private one to one street photography workshop, meaning you will be the only participant on the session. It is fully tailored to you and designed to help you capture the energy, atmosphere, and character of London’s streets while developing your own photographic style.
Whether you’re completely new to photography or already experienced with a camera, the workshop is shaped around your level and the way you like to shoot. We’ll explore carefully chosen locations across London, starting with areas that work well for strong fine art street photography before moving into more spontaneous, close up street scenes.
Throughout the session, I’ll share my personal approach to street photography, including how to build confidence shooting in public, work with light and composition, anticipate moments, and create more compelling images from everyday situations. You’ll receive hands on guidance throughout, with the pace and focus adjusted entirely to you.
This is a relaxed and creative experience rather than a formal classroom style lesson. The aim is to help you see the streets differently, enjoy the process of shooting in London, and come away with a set of images you are genuinely proud of, along with new skills and confidence in your photography.
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.
