1–2–1 Dog Photography Tuition

Whether you’re just beginning your photography journey or looking to refine your artistic voice, my 1–2–1 tuition days are designed entirely around you - your goals, your interests, and your style.

These bespoke sessions offer the freedom to learn at your own pace, in a relaxed and supportive environment. Together, we’ll focus on the areas that matter most to you β€” whether that’s mastering camera settings, creating expressive portraits, working confidently with dogs, or developing your creative eye.

  • The Fine Art Dog Photography Experience

    Immerse yourself in a full day of creativity, learning, and inspiration amidst two enchanting forest locations close to York. Over six unhurried hours together, we’ll explore the art of dog photography at its most beautiful, with time to pause for a relaxed lunch and thoughtful discussion between locations.

    I’ll personally source and arrange two or three gorgeous dog models to join us, giving you plenty of opportunities to capture a variety of portraits and action shots in natural, beautiful settings.

    Throughout the day, I’ll share my thought process and professional techniques, guiding you through how I see, shape, and capture each image.

    Together we’ll explore topics such as creative camera settings, composition, working with natural light, and the subtle art of connection between photographer and dog.

    You’ll leave not only with a collection of stunning images, but with the insight and confidence to create your own signature style.

    If you wish, we can begin the day with an intimate cafΓ©-based theory session, the perfect setting to enjoy a coffee while we discuss vision, preparation, and approach before heading out into the woods.

    A Year of Guided Creativity

    For a small number of photographers each year, I’m opening an experience unlike anything I’ve offered before.

    I’m delighted to announce a new offering crafted for photographers who are ready to invest in their artistry at the highest level.

    Introducing the Four-Session Yearly Programme, an exclusive, year-long mentorship designed to elevate your dog photography with intention, depth, and creative clarity.

    Across four beautifully curated sessions, spaced throughout the year, we’ll work together to refine your technique, strengthen your visual voice, and shape a body of work that feels truly your own. Each session builds on the last, allowing space for real growth, meaningful progress, and a transformation that can’t be achieved in a single workshop.

    This is a private, bespoke experience, tailored entirely around your vision, from mastering light and movement to developing a refined, recognisable style.

    Only a small number of places are available to ensure every photographer receives my full attention and a truly personalised journey.

    If you feel called to step into a more intentional way of creating, I’d love to welcome you into this exclusive programme.

    Image critique

    A forty minute session to review the images take on our 1-2-1 day. We can go through all your favourite images and I can review and give my critique on their strengths and areas of improvement. If desired we can also review the images I took on our day and I’ll critique my own work. Discover why I favour one image over another and why I would discard others.

    The fee for a 40 minute critique via Zoom is Β£50
