Night & Astro Photography Workshops
Shooting after dark unlocks an entirely new world of photography. From dramatic star trails and the ethereal glow of the Milky Way, to colourful light painting and creative car trails — these workshops will help you master the techniques needed to capture stunning images in low light.
You’ll learn how to approach night photography with confidence: the right camera settings, how to plan your shoot, how to focus in near darkness, and how to balance creativity with technical know-how. Whether your goal is capturing the grandeur of the night sky or painting with light on the ground, this is where your night photography journey begins.
Upcoming Night Workshops
Light Painting Workshop | Shapes/Orbs
Light Painting can be really spectacular, if done right. I'll show you how to create art with light. Join me and we'll have some fun in the process too.
What You’ll Experience
Star Trails & Milky Way
Learn how to capture the rotation of the Earth through star trails, or the breathtaking clarity of the Milky Way. We’ll cover planning, camera settings, and how to stack and edit for the best results.
Light Painting & Car Trails
Add creativity and fun to your night shots with light painting tools or passing car lights. You’ll discover how to create controlled, colourful images and use long exposures to transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary ones.
Who Is This For?
These workshops are suitable for anyone comfortable with the basics of their camera who wants to push into the exciting world of night photography. Beginners are welcome, and you’ll get step-by-step guidance to ensure you go home with images you’re proud of.
What to Bring
- A camera with manual mode (DSLR or mirrorless preferred).
- A sturdy tripod (essential for long exposures).
- A wide-angle lens (ideal for astro and landscapes).
- A torch or headlamp (red light recommended for astro).
- Warm clothing — we’ll often be standing still outdoors at night.
- Optional: Light painting tools or a speedlight if you’d like to experiment.
Night photography is challenging but hugely rewarding — join me, and I’ll make sure you leave with both knowledge and unique, creative images.
