Workshop - FAQs
How long does a workshop last?
Group workshops last over the period of a long weekend. We will meet up on Friday midday at our hotel and the workshop ends on Sunday midday / early afternoon.
What is included in the price of a workshop?
Tuition, accommodation, breakfast and transport to all locations is included in the workshop price. You will only need to make your own transport arrangements to the hotel on the Friday, and back home from the hotel on the Sunday. Additionally, you will receive a complimentary signed copy of an Adam Burton book of your choice.
How many people will be in my group?
Our workshops have a maximum capacity of 4 delegates. On the rare occasions that we run a larger workshop the group number will be clearly indicated at the time of booking, and extra tutors will be available.
Can I purchase a workshop as a gift?
You certainly can. In our Merchandise section you can purchase workshop gift vouchers, which can be used for either group workshops or 1-2-1 tuition days.
Do you cater for all levels of photographic knowledge?
All levels of photographic knowledge are welcomed on our workshops from beginner to advanced amateurs and beyond. Our basic aim with the workshops is to improve your landscape photography skills, as well as guide you to inspirational locations.
Will I get regular tuition and guidance?
As our workshop groups are only small (maximum of 4) there will be plenty of guidance and tuition from Adam whatever your level of skill. Adam will always be on hand to help or answer any of your questions.
How much time will be dedicated to capturing photographs?
We will endeavour to be on location as often as possible throughout the workshop. Providing conditions are favourable all tuition will take place on location, where you can immediately put into practice new techniques. However, if conditions deteriorate we may return to the hotel for briefings and critique.
Will I be able to visit the locations in the best light?
Though we cannot control the British weather our locations have been researched to provide the best opportunity for shooting at the particular time we visit. The locations selected provide a wide subject matter whatever the weather.
Are long walks or climbing involved?
We have endeavoured to select locations that in most cases are relatively easy to reach. There will be instances where we need to tread less solid ground in the moorland areas or where we have to climb hills to shoot from cliff tops but we will reach our locations at a pace you are happy with.
What is a typical daily itinerary?
We will visit a dawn location to shoot the light at sunrise and return for breakfast at our hotel. During the day we will visit another location and go on to our final location for the last light of day. Tuition will take place throughout the day either on a 1-2-1 basis on location or in a group at the hotel, depending on the weather. Please note the main meal of the day will be taken either before or after our last shoot of the day depending on the time of year of the workshop.
What equipment will I need to bring on the workshop?
Please bring all the photographic equipment you would normally take out on a landscape shoot. Essential items in this case would be a tripod and neutral density graduated filters. Please ensure you have enough memory cards or film and if possible a storage device or laptop which will also help with critiquing your work.
We will be visiting areas well known for changeable weather and it is essential that you have the clothing and footwear that will enable you to shoot landscapes whilst remaining comfortable in all weather conditions. For coastal workshops a pair of wellies are highly recommended. As we are out on location for most of the day please don’t forget to bring items such as a bottle of water and possibly some snacks to keep you going between meals.
Will I need to buy insurance?
We recommend insurance for any photographic workshop. However, at no time will you be placed in a position of danger, if we feel conditions do not allow us to visit a certain location we will seek an alternative. We do ask that you act with common sense when visiting areas such as cliff tops, tidal areas and exposed areas.
How do I book myself onto a workshop?
You can reserve your place online by paying a non-refundable deposit of £50. The remaining balance will be requested 4 weeks before the commencement of your workshop.
