How long is the Manchester 1-to-1 photography workshop?
The full-day private workshop lasts approximately 7 hours, giving us plenty of time to learn new techniques, practise them around Manchester and work with different types of light and locations.
What will I learn during the photography workshop?
The workshop is completely tailored to you, but topics can include Manual mode, the exposure triangle, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, composition, camera settings, cityscape photography, urban photography, architecture and creative techniques.
Do I need to know how to use my camera?
No. If you’re a beginner, we’ll start with the fundamentals and help you understand your camera step by step. If you’re already confident with your camera, we can move on to more advanced techniques and concentrate on improving your photography.
What camera do I need?
You can use the camera you already own. The workshop is suitable for DSLR and mirrorless cameras, and we’ll tailor the tuition around your equipment. You don’t need an expensive or professional camera to take part.
Where does the Manchester photography workshop take place?
The workshop takes place around Manchester and can include some of the city’s best photography locations. The exact locations can be tailored to your interests and the type of photography you want to create, as well as the weather and available light on the day.
Will we photograph Manchester cityscapes?
Yes. Manchester cityscape and urban photography can form a major part of the workshop. We’ll look at viewpoints, composition, architecture, leading lines, reflections, perspective and how to make the most of the available light.
Is this a private photography lesson?
Yes. This is a completely private 1-to-1 photography workshop with Mike McMahon of Sky High Photography UK. The entire day is focused on you, rather than sharing the tuition with a larger group.
Can the workshop be tailored to my photography interests?
Yes. That’s one of the main benefits of a private 1-to-1 workshop. We can adapt the day around your experience, camera, preferred photography style and the areas you most want to improve.
Can I ask questions throughout the day?
Of course. The workshop is designed to be hands-on and interactive, so you can ask questions throughout the day and receive personal guidance and feedback as you photograph.
Will I receive photography feedback?
Yes. We’ll review your images and discuss composition, camera settings and ways you can improve. You’ll also receive practical advice that you can continue using after the workshop.
Is the workshop suitable for photographers who already have experience?
Yes. The workshop isn’t just for beginners. If you already understand the basics, we can concentrate on more advanced composition, creative techniques, cityscape photography, long exposures or other areas you’d like to develop.
