About
Do you love taking photos but just can’t get a grip of your camera? Join professional photographer David Broadbent’s Group Photography Course at extraordinary Puzzlewood, near Coleford, in the Forest of Dean. Over five hours, up to six guests will learn how to capture the very best images of this amazing ancient woodland and famous movie location.
David Broadbent has more than 30 years’ experience in photography, is a member of the Canon Professional Network, a founding contributor to the RSPB Images picture library, and his travel, food, action and lifestyle images are represented worldwide by the Alamy agency.
During the fun, easy and jargon-busting session, he will help guests gain confidence in areas including essential functions, camera set-up for any situation and how to successfully take great movement, close-up, landscape, wildlife and people shots. There will be plenty of opportunities for one-to-one advice, too, as David shares his knowledge and techniques to help push your creative thinking.
Puzzlewood, an ancient woodland often used as a film location, features extraordinary trees, plants and fungi, and unique light at all times of the year. The group will walk in the woodland for practical sessions before heading off on mini assignments to practise their newfound skills.
After the experience, a course handout can be emailed to the client and continued online support is offered via the Facebook page.
