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.

Having stopped all face-to-face tuition, including all workshops, we are now at a stage where we can start meeting again, whilst maintaining social distancing.

I am planning to run small workshops with a maximum of five attendees for the time being, booked direct with me. More details to follow, but to have the best chance of booking on to these, do make sure you're signed up to my newsletter.

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 will continue providing private tuition via Zoom and Skype, and am also holding regular 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, I can now offer dates and locations where this can take place, please get in touch.

If you have a Gift Voucher for private tuition, the expiry date will be extended by 4 months to account for the time spent in lockdown.

Essex Wildlife Trust have now opened most of their visitor centres again, but with a limited service, and my workshops with them are still disrupted. I am running Sea and Shore workshops privately at the Naze this Autumn, but have yet to learn whether my workshops at Hanningfield Reservoir will be going ahead. You can read their statement on the EWT website. Many apologies for the disruption.

Although the RHS have reopened Hyde Hall, they have no plans to restart events at the site until after the end of September, so unfortunately I am not going to be running any more workshops with them this year. You can read their current Covid statement on the RHS website. Again, many apologies for the disruption.

I fully intend to run the London workshops and Birds of Prey workshops this Autumn, albeit with restricted numbers due to social distancing.

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