About Will Gray

Be inspired. Get creative. Learn how to improve your photography.

Join me for a one-to-one photography workshop or small-group photography tour for tailor-made tuition, suitable for beginners or enthusiasts. As a widely published, award-winning photographer, I'll focus 30 years of experience into making your workshop inspiring, rewarding and fun – whether you're looking for a three-hour or full-day workshop in the Cotswolds, a weekend in Cornwall or the Lake District, or a week-long photography holiday in Iceland. Based in the Cotswolds since 1995, I know the area intimately, while my experience as a travel journalist has given me an in-depth knowledge of each of the other destinations I offer.

Fabulous day in the Cotswolds with Will. Relaxed and informative, stunning locations and even the weather cooperated. It was like a holiday in one day and produced some wonderful shots to remember it by. Well worth the money and I WILL do it again.
