June 2021

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has created uncertainty and upheaval for us all in our daily lives, and in many cases forced us to change the way we can do business.

Now out of lockdown, and with restrictions lifting, I am back to work!

I am taking bookings for private tuition sessions, and am planning workshops for 2021. Some of these are small workshops booked direct with me, and now I have some dates for workshops with the RHS at Hyde Hall too. To have the best chance of booking on to these, do make sure you're signed up to my newsletter.

I am sending out Gift Vouchers as normal, these having a 2 year validity, and extensions if required due to any lockdowns. Click to purchase

I have one workshop that is partly delivered via a Zoom session in the morning, and then a practical session at Lake Meadows in Billericay, in the afternoon.Gift Vouchers.

My decisions regarding tuition are being constantly reviewed in light of further advice as time goes on. I will update here, on the relevant workshop pages on my website, by newsletter, and via social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), as and when required.

I continue to provide private tuition via Zoom and Skype, and live online Q&A's. Make sure you're signed up to my newsletter to receive details of these.

If you wish to meet for a practical private photography session, please get in touch.

If you have a Gift Voucher for private tuition, the expiry date will be extended by 1 year to account for the COVID restrictions.

Essex Wildlife Trust have now opened their visitor centres again, but with a limited service, and my workshops with them are still disrupted. You can read their statement on the EWT website. Many apologies for the disruption.

The RHS have started events and workshops at Hyde Hall, and I have dates for workshops with them booked in from July, please head to the Art of Garden Photography and Know The Basics workshop pages to book. You can read their current Covid statement on the RHS website. Again, many apologies for the disruption.

I ran some London workshops, Close-up and Macro workshops, and some Sea and Shore workshops during the Autumn, albeit with restricted numbers due to social distancing. These have been successful and enjoyable, so they, and others, will be booked in for 2021. I have already got some Sea and Shore dates online.

It's been very rewarding to still be able to present talks to camera clubs via Zoom throughout the pandemic, and I have lots more booked in for the coming months. Do get in touch if your club would like one too.

I thank you for your patience and understanding during these extraordinary times.
