My residential landscape photography workshops are aimed at small groups with maximum size of 4 participants, these workshops maximise tuition time and allow us to travel in one car, visiting many viewpoints throughout the day. These themed workshops will showcase many locations across Wales, visiting the best places for the time of year so check back regularly for new workshops.

WORKSHOP ITINERARY

There is so much to photograph across Pembrokeshire, we’ll explore a different area each day!

I’ve picked some of my favourite locations across the three days to keep it varied and interesting. As always, our itinerary is a guide to the key places and we generally follow it, however should the weather be against us, then we will head to where conditions are most favourable.

Lastly, while I’d always maximise being out and photographing the coast on a workshop, if it’s a total washout for a few hours, we can resort to going through editing images and talking through image processing workflows in Lightroom on my laptop at the hotel.

DAY 1

SUNDAY 21ST FEBRUARY 2027 

After a meet and greet early afternoon, we’ll head out over to the south coast. This area features locations on the military range and with access is limited to weekends, we will photograph the iconic stacks and sea arches, before finishing up at the beautiful Freshwater West for sunset.

DAY 2

MONDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2027 

Heading out for a sunrise shoot at a local beach, we’ll then return to the hotel for breakfast. After a short break, heading out along the north coast of the county exploring the harbours and rocky coves before finishing up at a lighthouse for sunset. Returning to the hotel for dinner.

DAY 3

TUESDAY 23RD FEBRUARY 2027 

Our sunrise shoot will be at a local castle before returning to the hotel for breakfast. After a short break and check out, we head to the west coast of Pembrokeshire taking in the beaches and cliff top views before finishing for sunset at one of the best beaches anywhere, Marloes Sands.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I spent two days with this super gentleman, Drew is so easy to get on with and within an hour it was like I had known him for years. His intimate knowledge of the area was first class and he chose locations that were beautiful and varied which allowed me to really challenge my photography skills. The pace and detail of his instruction was perfect from a composition and technical standpoint. I have been on a number of workshops which has really structured my photography but what Drew showed me was something new, his agility and freedom around the camera and the dials was so refreshing and fun, I now feel so much more confident in letting loose and exploring what I can do with my camera and cant wait to put it into practice. We had some really challenging conditions but at all times my safety and well being was obviously at the front of Drew’s mind and he still found tons of great photographic opportunities. This really was great value for money and I had such a great time I have booked my next session already – Drew you are a superstar!
Mark

Had a Fantastic day spent with Drew Buckley yesterday on one of his one to one workshops. I definitely felt like my images were lacking something to make them stand out and this course definitely answered all my questions, still haven’t stopped smiling yet,

The knowledge and professional skills i came away with were mind blowing, From simple camera setup to the complete layout and location for the perfect shot and all delivered at a nice relaxing pace.

Highly Recommended!

Ade

Drew is a friendly, thoughtful guy who tailors his workshops to the needs of the individual. The experience was both enjoyable and educational. Highly recommended.
Tony

A fantastic day! I was pretty much a novice, not having got much beyond the ‘automatic’ settings on my camera but Drew’s instruction and on-going tips during the day really inspired me to do a lot more, and, by the end of the day, I was happily snapping away, trying different compositions and practicing what I’d had a lot of fun learning.
