22nd October and 23rd November 2026

I will be at the Maggio Lounge in Billericay on Thursday 22nd October and Monday 23rd November 2026 to give free advice on photography equipment and techniques.

The Maggio Lounge is a great cafe bar, serving a whole range of drinks and food, with friendly staff, and lots of events too!

The evening will be a chance for you to drop-in and pick my brains on any photography subject, for FREE!

Having run over 510 workshops and seeing 1,725 private tuition customers receiving over 6,500 hours of tuition over the last 23 years, I should have the answer to any of your queries, whether it's regarding technique, or the finer details of the workings of your camera.

Testimonials

I have attended two courses with Daniel
"I have attended two courses with Daniel, looking at coastal and macro photography. Both sessions were very well organised with a class session followed by outdoor practical work. Daniel is very patient and takes time with everybody to ensure that each person understands how to achieve good photographic images for the relevant topic. The courses are priced reasonably and more importantly are very enjoyable." Marguerite via Trustpilot

Another great day spent with Daniel
"Another great day spent with Daniel learning the basics and how to control my camera. A very informative day presented in an easy to understand format. Have read about aperture, shutter speed and ISO but never really understood it. This workshop gave me a much better practical understanding of how these work together. Have been out practicing today doing everything in manual mode and really enjoyed experimenting. I will get a lot more pleasure from my photography now that I know more about what I am doing. Would highly recommend this workshop." Steve via Trustpilot

Until today I had no idea what I was doing
"Until today I had no idea what I was doing with my camera and how to use it. Thanks to Daniel everything now makes sense and it's now down to me to practice what I have learnt. Thanks for a great day and giving me that photography bug even more!" Steve Leeds via Trustpilot

Fantastic 1 to 1 private tuition with Daniel
"Fantastic 1 to 1 private tuition with Daniel. After a year of ‘playing’ about with my camera I needed to be taught some of the basics, Daniel made this simple to follow and demonstrated as he went along. I feel like I’ve picked up some handy tips and will definitely put what I have learnt into practice as soon as this rain goes away!" Cassie via Trustpilot

London Walk
"A very enjoyable experience, walking from Blackfriars to Westminister Bridge. Although I have walked along this route at other times, Daniel gave you an insight into seeing things with a photgrapher eye. He provided helpful advice about the settings to use, giving you a chance to try different ways of capturing an image. He also responded to any queries of how to shoot particular scene." Susan via Trustpilot

Great Session Top Tuition
"My husband and I attended the Know The Basics workshop. It was a very enjoyable and informative day. The session was interactive and set at a good pace. Daniel’s friendly presentation was very effective with an excellent supporting booklet. We now have the confidence to use our cameras competently and enjoy our photography even more. Totally recommend Daniel to help you wherever you are on your photography path." Julie Rose via Trustpilot
