Brighton Seafront Photography Workshop (3-hour session)
Join me for a creative and engaging 3-hour photography adventure along Brighton’s iconic seafront – where the vibrant energy of the city meets sweeping sea views and classic seaside character.
What we’ll explore
We’ll begin at the colourful beach huts in Hove, moving along the lively promenade where people, movement and light create endless photographic opportunities. We’ll then head towards the pier to capture Brighton’s most recognisable landmark under golden light as the sun dips.
Throughout the session, we’ll shift between street-style photography (people, architecture, leading lines, reflections) and seascapes (textures, horizons, pier structure).
During the February session, we’ll also finish with the mesmerising starling murmurations – an unbeatable natural spectacle.
I’ll guide you through:
How to use your DSLR camera on manual mode to get the best results in different lighting situations
How to spot and frame strong compositions quickly in a changing urban-shoreline environment
How to use movement (people walking, waves, surf) as part of the image story
How to choose interesting and unique subjects to focus on
Who it’s for
This workshop is suitable for all enthusiast photographers who want to push beyond simple snapshots – whether you’re using a mirrorless, DSLR, advanced compact, or even a phone camera.
You don’t need to be confident in manual mode; I’ll help you take that next step.
Groups are kept small (maximum 8 participants) so you’ll receive plenty of one-to-one attention, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
What you’ll walk away with
By the end of the session, you’ll:
Understand your camera’s manual settings and feel confident adjusting them for each scene
Feel more comfortable switching between street and landscape modes, using light, movement and composition with intent
Leave with fresh ideas for how to explore your camera – and see a seaside city in a whole new way
