Spring Photography Workshop at Painshill

About

Discover the beauty of spring through your lens at this inspiring photography workshop led by Imber Court Photo Training.

Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Painshill, this immersive day is perfect for anyone looking to develop their skills, gain fresh creative inspiration, and build confidence behind the camera. Whether you’re using a digital camera or your smartphone, you’re warmly welcome.

Spend the day exploring the park’s diverse scenery — from the tranquil lake and elegant bridges to enchanting follies and vibrant seasonal gardens. With expert guidance, you’ll be shown the best locations and viewpoints, helping you see familiar landscapes in new and exciting ways.

Your tutor, Ashley Gardner, is an experienced photography instructor who provides hands-on support throughout the day. Through practical exercises and personalised feedback, you’ll refine essential techniques including composition, light, and focus — and learn how to use them creatively.

Workshops are kept intentionally small to ensure individual attention and a relaxed, supportive learning environment. Whether you’re just beginning your photography journey or looking to take your skills further, the day will be tailored to your experience level. No specialist equipment is required — simply bring the camera you’re comfortable using.
