UK Photography Workshops
with Will Gray

From the Cornish coast to the mountains of Glencoe, join me on a three-night, small-group photography workshop to develop your technique and creativity.

Carefully planned to make the most of your time in the field, photographing from dawn to dusk, each workshop can be booked on its own, or combined with its partner workshop to make a six-night, week-long photography escape.

January: Far West Cornwall • North Devon Coast

February: Glencoe & Rannoch Moor • Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

October/November: Lake District Landscapes • Peak District Woods & Moors

Cotswolds Photography Workshops with Will Gray

Having lived in the Cotswolds for 30 years, it's an area I know intimately. The landscapes here may be gentle, but it's the perfect location to develop your photography skills – whether you're a beginner getting to grips with a new camera, or an enthusiast keen to develop your eye for composition.

I offer two main types of photography workshop in the Cotswolds. A full-day option – The Ultimate Cotswolds Photography Workshop – is a unique and highly personalised experience for individuals or couples hosted at my home village in North Oxfordshire, and includes photography walks, a pub lunch, Lightroom session, a print of your favourite image, an afternoon walk, traditional cream tea and, to round it off, a sunset shoot at a nearby panoramic viewpoint.

I also offer half-day photography workshops in the Cotswolds. Some are themed to focus on a particular seasonal highlight, such as the bluebell flowering season or autumn colours, while others are aimed at helping you develop your photography skills as a beginner or as someone who's interested in either wildlife or classic Cotswolds scenes. Each of these workshops has a meeting point in the Cotswolds: 

April/May: Bluebell Woodland Photography Workshop

October/November: Autumn Colours Photography Workshop

Year round: Classic Cotswolds Photography Workshop

Year round: Wildlife Photography Workshop

Year round: Beginner's Photography Workshop
