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

Fall under the spell of the mountains of Glencoe during this winter photography workshop when snow creates wonderful textures on the mountains, and the moorland pools are fringed with patterned ice.

Brecon Peaks & Waterfalls

PHOTOGRAPH THE DRAMATIC SEASCAPES OF HARTLAND
North Devon Coast
Photography Workshop
Photograph some of Britain's most dramatic coastline, including the striking sea arch of Blackchurch Rock and the rugged headland of Hartland Point where ocean swells have chewed bands of Carboniferous shale into a jagged maw of shark-tooth rocks.

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
