Each time zone brought very different light and harsh daylight midday works so well with the architecture, light and shadow. Learnt a huge amount and found the whole trip really inspiring. I will be using these skills at home which is really exciting, Rodney as always really hands on with tuition and guidance. He is a born teacher. Fantastic group, we laughed so much on this trip. Loved it!

I was recently on Rodney’s workshop to the City of Arts and Science in Valencia Spain which I really enjoyed. This is my 3rd trip abroad with him. Rodney is a great photographer, manager and organiser.  He knows all the best spots to take a great photo.  He has a great eye for composition which in turn helps the group get some nice shots. He has a vast knowledge of photography and is quick to provide assistance for any query from the group. Your knowledge of photography will definitely increase as a result of the workshop.
I highly recommend Rodney’s Photography Workshops

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been on many of Rodney's workshops over the years and each of them have been excellent. This is due to Rodneys attention to detail in organising the trips, to his wonderful knowledge of the designated locations we are visiting and to his expertise in all areas of photography. He is an excellent mentor and he gives individual attention to everyone on the trip regardless of whether a novice or a more advanced photographer. His love of photography and his perceptive observation of the surrounding landscape is contagious resulting in everyone enjoying the trip and coming home with some great shots as well as great memories and enhanced skills. I would highly recommend experiencing one of Rodney's Workshops

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Rodney's photography workshops. He is attentive to everyone and tailors his advice to whatever level each member is at. No question is too easy or difficult for him and he is unfailingly pleasant and cheerful. He knows all the best spots and can adapt the itinerary to the weather and the needs of his clients with ease. His new 8 seater van makes the trip very relaxing and enjoyable too. Most important he has the ability to find the best shots wherever you go and is very generous with sharing his knowledge and skills.

Just back from another trip with Rodney... Slovenia in autumn. The locations were amazing and Rodney read the weather and conditions perfectly so we got morning fog and mist in the valleys , and beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the lakes. We took 2 trips up the mountains with incredible views. As always Rodney made sure that everyone was happy and tailored the itinerary for the whole group. I  signed up because I didn't really enjoy landscape photography, but have totally changed my mind. I learned so much and am excited to try out my knowledge in my own area. Rodney is an excellent teacher and has demystified  the approach and techniques involved in getting the best landscape shots for me.

This was my 3rd trip with Rodney and was prob the best out of the 3. Had a brilliant few days. There was a great group and everybody got on so well and the craic was had. I find a trip like this to be great for meeting new like minded people. I learnt new tips from Rodney and the others I was with which was even more beneficial. Accommodation was 4min walk from The City Of Arts and had a pool which I used in my free time during the day when we weren’t shooting. Enjoyed the dinner each evening as we got to discuss the days workshop and a beer before hitting the hay. All in all, I would highly recommend and was money well spent 👍🏻

Some suggestions from Rodney put into practice on a very informative and pleasurable weekend in Co. Clare

An architectural masterpiece

The City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) is a cultural and architectural complex located in Valencia, Spain. It is one of the most significant and impressive modern architectural projects in the country. The complex was designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, along with engineers Autores Arup and the architect of the aquarium itself Ángela García de Paredes.

This enchanting city provides the perfect setting for photographers of all levels to sharpen their skills and unleash their creativity.

An iconic landmark

The City of Arts and Sciences stands as an iconic landmark in Valencia, and a significant cultural and entertainment hub. With its forward-thinking and innovative design, it has drawn the attention of photographers from around the world, symbolizing the region’s commitment to modern architecture and cultural progress.

Architectural photography

Architectural abstract photography is a genre that focuses on capturing elements of architecture in a way that emphasises form, shape, colour, texture, and composition rather than a literal representation of buildings.

During this workshop, we will seek to convey a sense of abstraction, mood, and artistic interpretation in all our images.

Creative photography workshop

This wonderful place and its multifaceted complex offers us a distinctive and immersive experience. It provides the perfect setting for photographers of all levels to sharpen their skills and unleash their creativity.

Join me in Valencia on my architectural photography workshop, where we will concentrate on specific details such as light, shadow, patterns, textures, lines, and angles.
