The high dunes at Formby Beach afford excellent views across the Irish Sea. On clear days you can even see the mountains of Cumbria’s Lake District.
The coastline is being constantly eroded, sometimes the tide often reveals prehistoric mud layers – great for a complete unique and unexpected photography.
Back from the dunes lies Formby Woods, one of only a few places left in the UK to photograph a European Red Squirrel in the wild.
What to Expect
Your 1-2-1 workshop will be taken at your pace, with easy-to-follow explanations about how to use your camera. I’ll show you how to set the best exposure, how to keep your photo sharp, what all the major buttons and menu options do and most importantly – how to create unique, creative and striking images.
We’ll grab a coffee and chat about what you struggle with as a photographer, what you want to achieve with your photos and how I can help you to get there. Whether you’re waiting to feel more confident or motivated, booking a 1-2-1 photography workshop is the best investment an aspiring photographer like you could make.
What’s the Route?
This Formby 1-2-1 photography workshop will give you opportunity to try out a wide range of photography styles – seascapes, landscapes, nature, wildlife and macro.
If the weather is right then the views and colours will be rich, saturated and vibrant in every photo you take. You’ll learn how to control your exposure under strong light and how to saviour all that wonderful texture of nature’s bounty in the woodland.
Formby Beach and Woods is maintained by the National Trust and can be busy at times so be prepared. You will need to pay for parking prior to the entrance of the main car park.
Exact meeting point and route will be emailed to you upon booking.

What Should I Bring?
Pack whatever camera you have – I promise it’ll be enough. Storytelling in photography is about the content not about the equipment. Any DSLR camera, in the right hands, is a powerful tool.
Fully charge your battery and bring an extra one. Format your memory cards, ready to take lots of shots. If you’ve got a tripod bring it along, but it’s not essential. Feel free to bring along lens filters and other accessories.
