Do you enjoy landscape photography and want to get more from your pictures? Do you love the Yorkshire Dales and want to capture memories?

I was shortlisted for Landscape Photographer of the year 2011. I really enjoy spending my time with you and your camera, my guests who have been coming on my landscape photography workshops in Yorkshire for the last 5 years.


  • I am primarily a photography tutor rather than a photography jack of all trades and my workshops help provide solutions to problems you may encounter.
  • I love the challenge of getting things right in camera and want to pass this onto you.
  • I make sure you capture moments that will be around for ever and ever.
  • You'll see that problem solving with lots of practise in the field creates a solid photography technique for the rest of your photography days. The key to these workshops is giving you time at one or two locations.
  • Aperture, exposure, composition, ND and ND graduated filters and much more are explained throughout the day in simple non-teccie speak to encompass your specific needs.
  • A maximum of 5 guests so you can benefit from maximum individual attention while we explore the Yorkshire countryside epitomised by 'Emmerdale' and 'The Dales'
  • Tell me what you want to learn and it will be built into the workshop if possible.
  • Locations are a priority not classrooms
  • It's your day as well to relax, chat, have fun, take great photos with like minded people
  • I do process images but as little as possible and very rarely use HDR.

"Your camera and lens are not the extension of your eye, but it is extension of your brain"

Quite a few of my guests have gone on to gain ARPS and LRPS qualifications with the Royal Photographic Society.



What People Are Saying

Tim Whaley said "Thank you very much for a great day out in Swaledale. I learnt so much about my camera thanks to your clear and practical explanations and was well happy with the resulting photos. I'd recommend anyone who's bought a new camera and feels a bit overwhelmed to get on one of your photography courses. I can't wait to get out in the countryside again and take some more. Thanks again!"


The aim of these photography courses are for YOU to learn more about your camera and take away a greater knowledge of your photography along with more confidence about how to capture that moment, all in the safe hands of Dorcas who is dedicated to helping your improve your skills and who has photographed this region for many years.

News on the Flamborough Workshop
We had a fabulous workshop this weekend at Flamborough, friday from mid afternoon to after sunset, out all day saturday from dawn to dusk, sunday from dawn to afternoon, very very cold with bitter winds, lots of going up and down cliffs, oh my poor lally muscles - good pain though! Although we had high tides, they really caught the colours of the sunrises and sunsets. We set off thinking they was absolutely no hope of anything happening but hecause of the high winds we were treated to a decent spell of sunrise/sunsets. North Landing boats are at winter rest and just perfect. I will be posting guests pictures when they come in cos I know all the chaps got some great shots! So nice to have full workshops again. The cliffs have taken a battering over the last few months with quite a lot of landslides so do be careful when you go around this area.
Phew, next workshop is next weekend 24th March Swaledale - a few places left!
