This is a guide to what happens: Each workshop is unique in that the group has it’s own dynamics.

The workshops are about enjoying photography, and enjoying the company of other like-minded people and we encourage you to be open and relaxed.

The Critique process ...
All students will need to edit their images from each photographic session down to around twelve files.

These edited images will be downloaded onto our computer and will be data projected for the group to see. The edited images will become part of a book we will make on the Monday of the Workshop. Copyright of the images remains with the photographers at all times.  UPDATE
