After months of planning, location scouting, testing camera settings, and building workshop experiences that genuinely help photographers improve, I’m excited to officially launch my new Night Photography Workshops in Manchester.

It’s been a huge amount of hard work getting everything ready behind the scenes, but now that the bookings are starting to come in, I can honestly say I’m really enjoying every part of it.

One of the best feelings has been helping photographers of all levels achieve their photography goals — whether that’s finally learning manual mode, mastering long exposure photography, improving night photography skills, or simply gaining confidence with a camera for the first time.

As a Manchester photographer, I wanted to create photography workshops in Manchester that were practical, creative, and focused on real-world learning in some of the city’s best night photography locations.

And there’s nowhere better than Manchester after dark.
