SUMMARY:Morag Paterson – Curious Conversations: The Hidden Life Of Forests (And Other Stories)
DESCRIPTION:Understand how curiosity\, experimentation and collaboration can improve and develop your approach to photographing the natural world. \n\n\n(As well as access to the live event\, you will automatically receive a link to the recording\, valid for 28 days) \n\n\nProjects are magical – Morag shares how this project began through conversations and time spent working with a forester and a soil scientist.  \n\n\nThis sparked a curiosity about what might be drifting through the forest atmosphere – spores\, pollen\, dust and other fragments of life – and how a photographer might begin to capture or respond to something so elusive. \n\n\nUsing a mixture of traditional photography and more playful techniques such as intentional camera movement (ICM)\, Morag began exploring ways of working with the images to take them beyond the forest ecosystem. \n\n\nConsider the value of working without fixed outcome\, how slowing down\, embracing uncertainty and allowing space for experimentation can influence both the creative process and the photographer’s relationship with the landscape. \n\n\nMorag Paterson is a Scottish photographer whose practice is driven by curiosity and experimentation. Her recent work exploring forest environments has been developed through interdisciplinary collaboration and has been recognised through selection for the Earth Photo Awards\, with exhibitions shown at the Royal Geographical Society in London and touring nationally across Forestry England and National Trust sites.

SUMMARY:Lisa Merrill – Expressionist Photography

SUMMARY:Photo Tour - The Gems Of Georgia with James Kerwin
DESCRIPTION:Georgia is an incredibly exciting destination; it offers beautiful landscapes\, stunning soviet architecture\, and delicious food that caters for all tastes.\nSince 2019\, James has run photo trips and workshops through the former Soviet country\, a country with fantastic landscapes at its core.\nCombine those scenes with a scattering of amazing interiors\, off the beaten path areas\, and interesting ruins – this makes for a wonderful Photo Tour experience.\nA must visit destination for the photography; this trip is a great opportunity for you to improve your photography\, explore your creativity\, and at the same time discover a truly amazing country.\nThe tour starts and ends in the Capital city Tbilisi\, so join this small group tour as we explore Georgia for 9 full days.\nJames guarantees that he will not take you to locations typically visited by the masses.\nFor the full itinerary and prices\, please email: –  roy@myphotoclub.co.uk \nIt’s a place close to James’  heart; he launched his first tours here and spent nearly three years living in the country\, getting to know its rhythms\, people\, and the hidden photography spots. \nYou don’t need to worry about logistics. James arranges everything – accommodation\, local transport\, and photography planning. \nPlease note that James leads flexible tours based on providing the best photographic opportunities and noting the interests of the group. \nThe weather can dictate some of the schedule\, and it is likely to be adapted or changed. \nJames Kerwin is a British photographer based in Istanbul\, dedicated to uncovering overlooked architectural wonders in urban environments. His work focuses on abandoned structures\, hidden gems\, and underutilised spaces rich in history\, character\, and aesthetic value. \nHis artistic practice is deeply intertwined with global exploration. Travel serves as both his compass and canvas – a means to uncover hidden architectural narratives in overlooked urban spaces\, from Beirut’s decaying modernist structures to Tbilisi’s Soviet-era relics. \nHe seeks to highlight the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary\, capturing structures that reflect a lost era of craftsmanship and design. Through his lens\, he reveals intricate details\, textures\, and colours often unnoticed in daily life. \nHis process begins with meticulous research and exploration\, leading him to unexpected corners of cities worldwide. He spends hours\, studying maps\, looking for articles online\, and learning the history of overlooked buildings. Only after this initial research does he walk through the unfamiliar streets enjoying the photographic opportunities.

SUMMARY:Lightroom Tuition with Joe Houghton (All 8 Workshops)
DESCRIPTION:(As well as access to the 8 live Workshops\, you will receive links to the recordings\, which will be valid until 1st October 2026\, for you to review\, rewind and revisit) \n\nDrowning in unedited photos? Master Lightroom’s complete workflow – from camera card to gallery-ready images that you’re proud to share. \n\nEight sessions. One complete workflow. You’ll understand exactly what to do with your photos from the moment they come off the camera to the moment they go out into the world. \nLightroom Classic is the professional standard for photographers who want proper control over their image library and their editing — but most people use about 20% of what it can do. \nThis series changes that. Joe Houghton\, Irish based photographer and author of the Amazon #1 bestselling Lightroom Classic Step by Step books\, guides you through the full application in a way that actually sticks: practical\, structured\, and directly relevant to how you shoot. Joe is an Adobe Certified Expert and has the ability to teach in a warm and engaging way that makes Lightroom clear\, understandable and immediately useable. \nWhether you’ve been clicking around Lightroom for years without a clear system\, or you’re starting fresh and want to build good habits from day one\, this series meets your demands. \nEvery session builds on the last\, so you’ll have a complete\, repeatable workflow – not just a collection of tips. \nEach session runs for approximately two hours and combines demonstration with hands-on practice. Participants are encouraged to work along in real time using their own photographs. \nWhat You’ll Cover\nThe eight sessions split across three areas: \n\nLibrary Module (Sessions 1 & 2) — catalogue setup\, importing\, organising\, keywording\, and finding images fast\nDevelop Module (Sessions 3–6) — the full editing toolkit from basic adjustments to masking\, presets\, and batch processing\nOther Modules (Sessions 7 & 8) — Map\, Book\, Slideshow\, Print\, Web\, and round-trip editing with external apps\n\nJoe Houghton has been teaching photography and Lightroom for over a decade\, working with camera clubs\, corporate clients\, and individual photographers. \nHis approach is direct\, practical\, and grounded in real shooting situations rather than abstract theory. \nTuition Sessions Outline\nThe following outlines what each session covers.
