Lewes Photography Workshop (3-hour session)

Join me for a 3-hour photography adventure through the charming town of Lewes, full of beautiful streets, unusual doors, attractive gardens, and cobbled lanes. This workshop combines practical camera guidance with creative exploration in one of Sussex’s most picturesque towns.

What we’ll explore

We’ll start in Southover Grange Gardens, where we’ll have a quick introduction to camera basics and settings. You’ll then have the chance to experiment with composition and exposure while photographing flowers, statues, and inquisitive squirrels in the gardens.

After this, we’ll regroup to discuss what worked well for you, what you enjoyed, and areas to improve. I’ll provide feedback and tips to help make your images more dynamic and show different creative approaches.

Next, we’ll head up Keere Street, a wonderfully steep cobbled lane, and continue along the main road to Lewes Castle. We’ll then descend towards Pells Pool and the River Ouse, stopping along the way to capture street scenes, architecture, and everyday life. You’ll also have the opportunity to photograph local wildlife, and if you’re feeling adventurous, we can take some action shots at the skatepark.

For those keen to capture sunset, we’ll finish by heading up Chapel Hill towards the golf course, where sweeping views of the River Ouse winding to the coast make a perfect backdrop for golden-hour photography.
