Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Monmouth.

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    We were fortunate enough have this event on a beautiful morning. The location at Cheesequake was perfect. It was a relaxing morning strolling through the woods and meadows while learning about a very simple photography technique, shallow depth of field. Even though I've used this method in the past, this outing was a great way to "jump-start" my enthusiasm for photography. Bruce is a very patient instructor. He answers simple questions with language we can all understand. He shares what he photographs in order for us to learn more about composition and lighting, etc. I always enjoy his photo op excursions.

    This is what I was looking for - a field trip, one topic, with friendly folks. Bruce shares his experiences and knowledge, and I'll sign up for more. Thanks!

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Sam
    I capture moments so they can be relived in the future. I'm a passionate photographer with experience in landscape, portrait, and fashion photography, and I enjoy documenting genuine human connections and emotions. I'm always eager to learn and grow creatively.
    I primarily shoot with Canon and focus on portraits, fashion, and landscapes. I'd love to share my experiences and creative journey with you.
    My photography journey began with a Canon point-and-shoot camera, then evolved through the Nikon D5200 and D750, and now continues with the Canon R5. I'm still exploring, learning, and pushing my creative boundaries.

    Sam is available for private bookings

    Friday evening and most Saturday and Sunday.

    Title or Location: Sunrise on the manasquan reservoir
    I hiked in through the wooded area down to the swampy start of the sunken forest on the reservoir set up my camera and tripod in the water waiting to capture the days sunrise. The reservoir is one of my favorite go-to spots for sunrise and sunset as well as many astronomy happenings in the night sky.

    We have been fortunate enough to encounter wildlife in far flung jungles, but had an incredible encounter in our back yard as a jury of vultures came to roost on the rail of our deck. Magnificent birds

    On a cliff overlooking the bay waiting for the full moon to rise. Although the moon was obscured by the clouds, those cloud lit up with sunset and gave us a magnificent display. This lonely tree caught my eye as an interesting subject reminding me of the lone cypress out in California. Just keep clicking &9996&65039 &10084&65039 &128247

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
