Workshops
I am delighted to announce the addition of a couple of new workshops, Wicklow and Westport Weekend Workshops along with my specific black & white workshop Monochrome Magic.
Wicklow Weekend
Westport Weekend
Monochrome Magic
The Workshops will be run over the weekend with a maximum of 4 people on the workshop. For two days, you have my undivided attention and will receive intensive photographic tuition that is geared to your specific needs. The cost of the weekend workshops is €500. This includes your accommodation in local B&B single room, transport during the workshop and all meals. Drinks are also included except alcohol.
We will be walking and doing a bit of this on the Wicklow Workshop so be prepared for an enjoyable and eventful weekend.
