If you’re interested, please send me an email. More details are below the jump, and selected testimonials from previous workshops are at the bottom of this post. Thanks! MT

Making Outstanding Images
16-18 July, London
Duration: 3 days, two practical and one classroom
Tuition cost: US$2,100 including The Fundamentals, Outstanding Images 1&2, How To See 1&2, Intro to PS Workflow (videos can be substituted for other videos in the event you already have them)

This workshop takes three days, with advanced front loading of material via video sessions. During this time, you’ll receive the distillation of my 13 years of photographic experience and investigations into learning to see, framing, composition, balance and postprocessing. It’s hands-on and exercise based, which is the fastest way of learning; the days take the form of a series of lessons, followed by demonstrations, assignments, and live feedback against the backdrop of street, travel and architectural photography. Students spend the first two days on foot learning the best way: by practicing and getting instant feedback. The third day is about deconstruction and completion of the workflow to output. It follows the same syllabus as Melbourne, Prague, Amsterdam, and the USA tour last year.
