See the world through intentional framing
Most photographers chase technical perfection. They miss what really matters. Composition transforms ordinary moments into images that stick with people long after they've scrolled past.
We're running autumn workshops in Northampton starting October 2025. Small groups, real locations, honest feedback.
Discover Our Approach
Why composition feels so ridiculously difficult
Because everyone tells you to follow rules. The rule of thirds. Leading lines. Symmetry. All useful, sure.
But great photographers break these rules constantly. They understand something deeper about how humans actually look at images.
You can't learn that from a list. You learn it by training your eye to notice what most people miss entirely. Balance. Tension. The weight of negative space.
Our approach focuses on developing visual intuition rather than memorising formulas. It takes longer. And it works better.
What shifts when you understand framing
- Your images tell clearer stories without needing captions
- People spend longer looking at your work
- You stop wasting time on shots that will never work
- Your editing process becomes faster and more decisive
- Other photographers start asking how you see things
- You develop a recognisable visual style
How learning actually happens
We don't rush through topics. Each stage builds visual thinking patterns that become automatic over time. Most people need about six months to genuinely shift how they see.
Foundation
Understanding visual weight, balance, and how eyes move through images. This alone changes everything.
Application
Shooting with intention in different conditions. Urban environments, natural light, controlled situations.
Refinement
Developing your personal approach through consistent practice and thoughtful critique sessions.
Real projects from recent sessions
These are actual assignments from workshops in late 2024 and early 2025. No staged perfection. Just people figuring out how to frame what matters.
Urban geometry study
Three-month project tracking architectural patterns in Northampton. The progression shows how attention to angles and repetition develops gradually.
Landscape depth work
Learning to create layers in outdoor scenes. This sequence explores how foreground elements change the entire feeling of an image.
What makes our sessions different
We cap groups at eight people. Everyone gets individual attention. And we spend as much time analysing why certain compositions work as we do actually shooting.
The goal isn't to make you shoot like me. It's to help you recognise your own visual tendencies and push them further.
Sessions run over weekends throughout autumn and winter 2025. We work in different locations around Northampton depending on what we're exploring that month.

Next cohort starts October 2025. We'll spend six months building your compositional awareness through practical work and honest critique. Limited to eight participants.
