One-To-One Masterclass Day

A full day of personalised training with Paul & the team

A one-to-one Masterclass Day is exactly what it sounds like, a full day focused on you, your photography, and what you want to improve. Whether you’re just getting started with portraits or you’ve been shooting for years and want a proper tune-up, this is the fastest way to make real progress. We’ll shoot, review, refine, and leave you with a clear plan you can use immediately.

Why attend?

Because sometimes you don’t need another tutorial, you need someone beside you, in real time, helping you see what’s happening and why. A one-to-one day gives you: • Personal feedback tailored to your style and goals • Practical solutions to the things you’re stuck on • Faster progress than trying to piece it together alone • Confidence, because you’ll do it rather than just talk about it It’s ideal if you’ve been feeling a bit stuck, want clarity, or you simply want to level up with proper guidance.

What will you learn?

Every one-to-one day is customised, but popular focus areas include: Portrait skills (studio + available light) • Finding great light quickly, and shaping it to flatter • Simple lighting setups you can repeat with confidence • Posing that feels natural and looks polished • How to direct clients so they relax and trust you • Composition and background control (the small tweaks that make a big difference) Post-production and workflow • A simple, repeatable editing approach • Colour and B&W finishing without overcooking it • Using new AI tools and techniques Business support  • Pricing and positioning • Sales, client experience, and what helps people buy • Workflow and organisation If there’s one specific thing you want to crack, bring it. We can build the entire day around solving it properly.

Who it’s aimed at?

This day is ideal for: • Building confidence: feel relaxed directing people, shaping light, and making decisions without second-guessing yourself. • Getting a creative push: fresh ideas, new approaches, and a bit of momentum when your work feels a little stuck. • Solving a skill gap: whether it’s posing, lighting, lens choice, editing, or workflow, we’ll target the thing that’s holding you back and fix it properly. • Portfolio, qualifications or competitions: create stronger, more consistent work and understand what judges and clients respond to. • Hands-on learners: if you learn best by doing (with guidance in the moment), this is where everything clicks. Beginner or pro, the day is designed to meet you where you are.

What’s included?

• Full day one-to-one tuition with Paul (and support from the team) • Use of the studio and Turn End gardens for practical shooting • Models included, chosen to suit what you want to learn (headshots, family, couples, character portraits etc.) • Lunch, tea, coffee (and plenty of it) • A day built around your goals and experience level • Follow-up support, including questions after the day • Image critique to help you refine your work and keep momentum

Lovely Quotes From Previous Studio Workshops

There is absolutely no substitute for being “in the room where it happened”. Paul has the unique ability to read the room and assess the individual needs of six disparate photographers and make sure each feels that the workshop was directed at him/her. Anyone can give you the “numbers” of a set-up, but Paul shares the “why” and makes you feel you can do it too.

One of the industry’s true masters. A real treat to be taught by someone of Paul’s reputation.

Paul was absolutely amazing, he literally embodies photography & lighting and he talked about it with such knowledge, enthusiasm and experience it was a delight to attend. Paul gave some very practical demonstrations and techniques which I will incorporate into my approach to lighting. From the moment I was greeted by Sarah in the morning to the end of the course it was a great learning experience, I would recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Brilliant course and exceptional tuition from Paul!

An excellent training day that cemented for me how to use lighting. I got quite a few of those ‘Ahhhhh’ moments where everything just clicked. I now feel confident with my skills and ability to produce the shots I was looking to achieve. Any questions asked we answered and no holds barred. Huge thank you to Paul and Sarah for a FABULOUSLY fun day. I will definitely be back for another workshop.
