Join me for live photographic workshops for beginner to advanced levels
The workshops will take you through all aspects of a photographic shoot.
I will show you how to get the most out of your camera, how to prepare for a shoot, what to look for in composition, how to make natural light work for you, and how to use studio lights.
No shoot will be complete without post-production. I will be hosting workshops on workflow, processing software, and editing software, such as Photoshop.
I have secured venues in Funchal from where I run the workshops. Depending on the topic, we will be working from a fully equipped photographic studio or a boardroom, or we will go outdoors to explore the street scenes or the natural beauty of Madeira.

PhotoWalk
Embark on a captivating journey with us as we explore the enchanting city of Funchal or one of its neighboring villages. Our photowalks are a regular occurrence, offering you the opportunity to delve into the heart of these locales and capture their unique essence.
Bring along your camera or mobile device, and together, we'll uncover the beauty of our surroundings. Our goal is to enhance your photography skills, sharing knowledge and techniques that will take your art to the next level. Following our exploration, we'll convene at a local restaurant for a post-walk discussion, where you can connect with like-minded photographers and forge lasting friendships.
These photowalks are free of charge, and while you'll be responsible for your own food and beverages at the restaurant, the experience promises to be invaluable. Keep an eye on our members' page and this website for updates on meeting times and locations. We can't wait to have you join us on our next adventure!
