2025-12-15 19:00 - 20:30 (Europe/London) | Online
Join inspiring tutor and creative photographer, Cherry Larcombe, as she explains and demonstrates making fabulous Still Life images, live!
A series of 4 workshops showing in detail, using live edits, how she produces a finished image – from start to finish.
The emphasis is on the “before” and “after” and what may be involved with making a particular image, rather than just concentrating on the mechanics of any one tool.
Many Photoshop techniques are used in every workshop, and include using layers, layer masks, blend modes, opacity, white layers, inversion and with emphasis on cropping and composition.
Many ideas to inspire you to try interesting ways of creating a still life image. Presentation tips to complete your image, such as using textures and key lines are explained.
The features included in each workshop are subject to change, as Cherry likes to include up to date work that may offer extra aspects.

Session 1: Introducing my gear, subject matter and where to source it. Explaining my style of ‘simple Still Life’ and how to use natural light indoors. Showing the importance of your background and colour combinations, together with reflections, can add interest to your shot.
Session 2: How using texture can enhance and add atmosphere to your still life image. How and where to create it. Capturing outside light to use indoors. Working towards a botanical style image and adding some text. An easy way to create a Pep Ventosa image indoors. Creating a simple composite using layers.
Session 3: Using kitchen foil to create a unique looking still life. Creating a mono still life and taking it a step further by inverting your image. Making use of the Twirl filter in Photoshop to create some attractive shapes. Easy ways to create a triptych with your still life images.
Session 4: Using the colour replacement tool in Photoshop to tone with other elements of your still life. Explaining an attractive way of framing your image. Using your light pad to bring out the detail in the petals of some white flowers. Combining something sentimental with your up to date work to produce something meaningful and unique. Ending with putting together a composite using many of the techniques covered.

These 4 Tuition Sessions will be held live on Mondays November 3rd and 17th, December 1st and 15th from 19:00 to 20:30 (UK time).
This booking is for all 4 sessions.

Photo Tour - India (Rajasthan & Varanasi) with Paul Sansome
2026-01-18 - 2026-01-31 | India
Rajasthan is the most colourful Indian State; and we visit the majestic Taj Mahal, Amber Fort and Varanasi, the oldest city in the world.
Paul aims to provide people with memorable experiences, good photo opportunities and a great holiday.
Paul says, “the emphasis of this trip is photography; I believe that the best photo opportunities are found away from the main tourist sites.
For the full itinerary and prices please email: – roy@myphotoclub.co.uk
Whilst the tour includes visits to two great buildings, the incomparable Taj Mahal and the grand Amber Fort, there is a greater emphasis on the bustling street life of towns like Bundi and Karauli. We complete our trip by going to the unique and extraordinary Varanasi, a place that cannot be understood without visiting it.”
To sumnmarise: –
We start our tour in Jaipur, with an introduction meeting and an initial session of tuition.
Our first full day will begin with a visit to one of India’s top visitor attractions – The Amber Fort.
Onto Bundi where much time will be spent in the back streets and the market, we will also visit some step wells, or Baoris.
Next, Ranthambore National Park, famous for its Bengal Tigers, where we have two jeep safari drives. We hope for successful sightings of those majestic animals, but there are other wildlife and landscape interest in the Park.
Our next destination is Karauli where we stay in a palace and enjoy fantastic street photography, as well as some buildings of historic note.
We couldn’t visit this part of India without…. The Taj Mahal ! – One of the Seven Wonders Of The World. Photo visits at dawn and dusk from both within the grounds and across the Yamuna River from the Mehtab Bagh gardens.
We had to include an Indian Train experience – our 7-hour express leaves at 06.00 for the amazing city of Varanasi… Paul says, “I have always enjoyed daytime train journeys in India, mainly to meet people through the train, plus the chaotic activity on some of the main stations. Varanasi is both the oldest city in the world and the most important religious site in India. Set on the River Ganges, it holds a special place for Hindus as dying in Varanasi may allow people to reach Nirvana. As one of the world’s most unique places it provides an unforgettable experience and photography opportunity, especially along the ghats, the huge banks of steps along the river.
We end the trip in Delhi, which has some sites that are well worth visiting but we may have limited time, fitting in with our flights. Paul says “All I can say is that we will try to find something interesting to do with any time available to us.”
Paul Sansome is one of the UK’s most successful fine art photographers, selling photography to hang on people’s walls since becoming a professional in 2003. Paul has been Highly Commended in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year, has many times featured in Landscape Photographer of the Year and in 2017 won the first of several major awards in the Travel Photographer of the Year competition. For the past 20 years, Paul has been leading photography holidays each year to countries that include Italy, Morocco, Iceland, Myanmar, Vietnam and India.
Paul is always available and the guidance given when alongside someone taking the photographs is probably the most instructive. As well as being attractive to the photographer, the itinerary will also appeal to people wishing to experience a more in-depth view of the Indian way of life. The Tours attract people with all levels of photography experience.

Tony Worobiec – Working in Themes
2026-02-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Online
Discover how developing and sustaining photographic themes can help you create more coherent, ambitious, and meaningful bodies of work.

(As well as access to the live event, you will automatically receive a link to the recording, valid for 28 days)

Many photographers work image by image, often influenced by competition culture or the search for individual standout photographs.

Tony argues that the more you explore a particular subject the more “expert” you become, leading to deeper engagement and more rewarding results.

Thematic work encourages patience, observation, and a growing sense of authorship, helping photographers move from recording scenes to interpreting them.

Cohesive bodies of work are essential when working towards photographic distinctions, exhibitions, or publications. Individual images gain greater emotional and graphic impact when part of a larger whole.

Tony Worobiec is a highly experienced photographer and author of 18 books, with photography awards in the UK and internationally. His prints have been exhibited in London’s Barbican Gallery, Bradford’s Museum OF Photography, The Menier Gallery in London and The Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock.

(As well as access to the live event, you will automatically receive a link to the recording, valid for 28 days)

The talk is audience-led; participants will help choose the areas explored during the evening. Joe will demonstrate different AI tools to see where they take us in ideating shots, shoots, and ways to approach your photography.

The emphasis is not on replacing creativity, but on expanding it through thoughtful use of technology.

Joe Houghton is an accomplished photographer, author and Adobe Certified Expert. He is widely known for his engaging teaching style and has presented to photography clubs across the UK and Ireland. His recent work has focused on the practical use of artificial intelligence in teaching and creative practice, culminating in his book 100 Ways AI Can Help… Photographers, which explores how photographers can use AI tools to support and enhance their workflow.

Morag Paterson – Curious Conversations: The Hidden Life Of Forests (And Other Stories)

Understand how curiosity, experimentation and collaboration can improve and develop your approach to photographing the natural world.

(As well as access to the live event, you will automatically receive a link to the recording, valid for 28 days)

Projects are magical – Morag shares how this project began through conversations and time spent working with a forester and a soil scientist.

This 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.

Using 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.

Consider 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.

Morag 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.

Lightroom Tuition with Joe Houghton (All 8 Workshops)
2026-07-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Online
(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)

Drowning in unedited photos? Master Lightroom’s complete workflow – from camera card to gallery-ready images that you’re proud to share.

Eight 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.
Lightroom 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.
This 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.
Whether 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.
Every session builds on the last, so you’ll have a complete, repeatable workflow – not just a collection of tips.
Each 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.
What You’ll Cover
The eight sessions split across three areas:

Library Module (Sessions 1 & 2) — catalogue setup, importing, organising, keywording, and finding images fast
Develop Module (Sessions 3–6) — the full editing toolkit from basic adjustments to masking, presets, and batch processing
Other Modules (Sessions 7 & 8) — Map, Book, Slideshow, Print, Web, and round-trip editing with external apps

Joe Houghton has been teaching photography and Lightroom for over a decade, working with camera clubs, corporate clients, and individual photographers.
His approach is direct, practical, and grounded in real shooting situations rather than abstract theory.
