Work with a Model in Real Locations
Take your portrait photography out of the studio and into the real world.
This 4-hour natural light workshop in Margate is built around working with a model in live environments, using the town’s unique mix of coastal textures, architecture, and light to create powerful, story-driven portraits.
You won’t be left guessing what to do. I’ll guide you through the process of shooting in public spaces, helping you build confidence in directing a model, composing your shots, and making the most of each location.
We keep the group to a maximum of 6 participants (including myself) so everyone gets meaningful shooting time without feeling rushed or crowded.
During the session, you’ll learn how to:
Confidently direct and work with a model
Compose strong portraits in busy, real-world settings
Use available light creatively (no complicated setups)
See contrast, shape, and storytelling in black & white
Adapt quickly to changing environments and opportunities
This isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about developing your eye and leaving with images you’re genuinely proud of.
What to Expect:
4-hour guided shoot around Margate
Professional model included
Multiple carefully chosen locations
Hands-on support throughout
Who It’s For:
Photographers looking to build confidence in portraiture, develop a stronger visual style, and create impactful images outside of a studio setting.
Kit required:
DSLR, Mirrorless or Bridge Camera
Your preferred lens (can be anything from wide angle, 50mm, 100mm or telephoto) Each offers something unique for the shoot
Comfortable walking shoes
Rain coat just in case the other turns, this is an outdoors shoot and we’re in England so, be prepared
Limited spaces available to ensure quality shooting time for everyone.
