Rugby Workshops

Rugby photography is quite a contrast from taking pictures of flowers. The pace, movement and noise are a total contrast to the sedate environment of the garden.

It has many challenges and rewards. There are possibilities for portraits and action shots. The crowd cheers on their team. Players fly into rucks and tackles. The set pieces of the line out and the scrum. Great subjects for the photographer to work with. I always come away from a rugby match with a card full of pictures and a buzz of excitement.

Just like in the garden, understanding your subject and your camera is key to getting the pictures you want.

My workshops are planned to help you do that. Great for beginners who want to move beyond the automatic modes of the camera and understand how it works.

My years of teaching experience have helped me appreciate that practical, hands-on practice is the fastest way to improve your knowledge and practice. Having someone there to work with, ask questions, and show images to, can greatly help your photography.

During the workshop, we will cover camera settings and how they relate to exposure, depth of field and image quality. We will get your camera set up the right way, ready to capture the action. I’ll get in the right places for getting great shots and then let the players do the rest.

I want you to leave the workshop knowing more than when you started and with images you would not have taken before.
