Martin Lawrence Photography
Two Day Landscape Photography Workshop
If you are looking for more than 1 days tuition then why not join me on a Two Day Landscape Photography Workshop. I will teach you all the techniques covered on the one day workshop plus, as we have more time at our disposal, introduce you to further techniques and visit lots more stunning locations to allow you more time to consolidate your knowledge and put these techniques into practice.
I don’t run open workshops. I prefer to run 1-2-1 or Small Group 1-2-2 or 1-2-3 Private Tuition for two or three relatives or friends as I find that this ensures a commonality of objectives that can best be achieved. By keeping numbers low, I am able to make sure that everyone gets a fair share of my individual attention, allowing them to get the best out of their time with me.
Two day workshops are based around Keswick on the first day. On the second day, we can go to any of your preferred locations or you can just leave it up to me as I know many beautiful photographic locations all of which lie within the beautiful Lake District National Park, recently designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Each day will last for approximately seven hours and will be held on consecutives dates of your own choosing.
On day one there will be a short discussion on techniques and camera set-up with the rest of our time spent entirely on location. We will visit a number of stunning locations each within a short drive of each other and reached by a walk of only a few minutes from my car. This will allow us to concentrate on actual tuition and allow us as much time as possible to put the techniques I have taught you into practice. It will hopefully also allow you as much chance as possible to capture some great images to take away with you! On day 2 we will consolidate the techniques we have already learned together with the introduction of new techniques that will be put into practice in the different locations we visit.
Please note that whilst transport to and from all locations will be supplied, accommodation costs and any travel or camera insurance will be at your own expense.

Hey Martin,
Just a quick note to say thanks for all of the guidance and company these last two days. It was real good fun even if the langdales did a disappearing act this morning ….. I had a look at your pics and they are kinda nice 😊
Safe travels and sure we will cross paths again on another one of your fabulous workshops.
Best
Mark.

My daughter and I had a 2 day photography workshop in May this year, to the Lake District, that was bought for us as a birthday present.
Martin was absolutely amazing. He was so personable and such a patient and knowledgeable teacher.
He took us to some incredible locations and my daughter, who was completely new to landscape photography, got some fantastic photos that any professional photographer would be proud of!!
With Martins guidance and expert teaching she was confidently taking truly amazing photos of the stunning locations in the Lake District that we were lucky enough to visit.
I am a more experienced photographer but Martin still gave me some expert tips that have improved my photography considerably and increased my confidence no end.
It doesn't matter if you are a complete beginner or an accomplished photographer I would thoroughly recommend Martin's photography courses. His knowledge of the Lake District is second to none and the locations that he took us to were simply stunning.
We both agreed that it was a truly unforgettable experience.
Thank You So Much Martin.

Hi Martin
Had a great two day workshop with you on Tuesday and Wednesday last week. Weather was perfect and the locations we visited spectacular. Nice to know that there are so many places where you can still escape the crowds if you know where to find them.
I learned so much over the two days and can now go forward with a new found confidence that has re-ignited my passion for photography. I'll be back later in the year to capture those great lakeland autumn colours.
Cheers
Paul

I have just completed a thoroughly enjoyable 2 day photography workshop with Martin Lawerence. Martin's knowledge of landscape photography is exceptional. He teaches with great enthusiasm and passion. I learnt so much from how to set my camera up. He talked about all the camera functions from Manual control, focus, ISO and White Balance, how to compose a perfect landscape image in the most amazing locations. Martin is an extremely nice guy who I found easy to get on with. If your looking for a professional,friendly workshop look no further than Martin Lawerence. He also has an awesome knowledge of The Lake District.

Hi Martin
Just wanted to say thanks again for a fantastic experience again yesterday. I think you have helped me find another level in my photography journey. My only disappointment was that the old legs had difficulty keeping up (other Jim's I mean ha ha !!) I have attached my favourite shot of the day. Absolutely delighted with this one of Rydal Water. It was worth the trip from Glasgow on it's own.
Best wishes Jim and Jim

Me and my mum booked a landscape photography class with Martin on the 4th of October. Unfortunately the weather on that day was not ideal but Martin continued to give us the best option for the photography class, so we did some more photography on the 5th of October instead, which was way more sunny.
Martin is a very friendly tutor and explains very well, he made us understand the utmost fundamentals of landscape photography and interesting techniques using ND filters and the big stopper. I can definitely apply this to my photography skills to further enhance my landscape photography. He also explained the use of Photoshop and post processing after taking pictures very well also. So I definitely recommend everyone taking a class with Martin, he’s a great professional photographer.Submitted by Ratanon Suksumrun, Manchester / Thailand

My husband and I booked a 2-day photography course with Martin in the Lake District and we weren’t disappointed. Martin’s style of tutoring is friendly and relaxed and he is so enthusiastic about imparting his considerable technical knowledge and ensuring that you have a good experience. He quickly understood our level of photographic knowledge and what we wanted to achieve and tailored the 2-days accordingly.
Martin’s knowledge of the local area was invaluable, especially as we had inadvertently booked during half term so it was very busy, however, he managed to find places that were empty/very quiet so we could take our time and get some great images.

Hi Martin,
We just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for a fantastic course on Thursday. Both Helen and I gained a lot from your teaching and enjoyed the experience to boot. Your friendly and open approach, backed up by in depth knowledge has given us both the confidence to switch to manual on a permanent basis from now on and make better use of the cameras we have.
Your tips on composition and correct approach to focusing have resulted in us changing the way we look at our existing pictures and potential shots in our landscapes. Helen was very impressed with your people skills, as she is normally cautious about meeting new people, but felt completely relaxed on the course within a very short space of time.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we come back for another session at some point to further build on what you have shown us.
Thanks again for the most memorably day out.
Regards
Eddie
