Towering cliffs, wooded valleys and tumbling rivers
As West Exmoor steps out of winter and into spring, the landscape takes a deep breath and comes to life. Exmoor National Park is famous for its deep valleys, tumbling rivers and some of the tallest sea cliffs in England, it is a truly awe-inspiring location to photograph.
Spend time honing your photography skills with me and a small group of photographers, practising composition, creative camera settings, and refining your vision for an image. I will safely guide you to the inspiring locations of Heddon Valley, Woody Bay, and Valley of the Rocks.
Take advantage of a one-to-one image editing session and prepare your favourite workshop image for the printer. You’ll take home an A4 giclee framed print as a lasting memory of your time on West Exmoor. You will also have the opportunity to display your photography in the Hunters Inn pub.
