Wildflower Photography Classes, Dorset
Join my flower photography classes in Dorset and discover the techniques and skills to capture stunning images of these delicate and vibrant blooms.
I am an experienced flower photographer and my classes will teach you about composition, lighting and other essential elements of nature photography.
Whether you’re a beginner or an improver, find out how to take your flower photography to the next level, creating beautiful images that showcase the natural beauty of Dorset’s wildflowers.
In the flower workshops we will be finding and photographing wildflowers such as early spider-orchids, early-purple orchids and green-winged orchids and bee orchids (separate classes for each because they mostly flower at different times). Of course, other plants and flowers grow in these locations too, meaning there is always plenty to photograph.
I also run flower photography classes in other locations, such as formal gardens.
Dorset Flower Photography Workshops
Why choose me as your teacher?
I have many years’ experience in flower and botanical photography and two RHS medals (Silver-Gilt and Bronze). In 2021 a portfolio of my work was on display in the Saatchi Gallery. You can read about this HERE.
I am passionate about flowers, plants and trees and love to capture images that will last forever, which is especially important in these days of climate change. You can see a portfolio of my botanical photographs HERE.
I often return to the same photo locations each year, just to check that ‘my’ plants are still there. There are already some that have disappeared, either due to being dug up and stolen by humans (yes, unfortunately that happens) or the changing weather conditions.
If I can pass on my enthusiasm for flowers, plants and trees to others, then my job is done.
