The art of photography is a mix of the technical and the creative. These photography workshops, which embrace both digital and classic film photography, will give you a full grounding in the mechanics of how your camera works, so that technically you are as proficient as you need to be.
There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ attitude. Instead, Tom has developed a tried and tested methodology whereby he works with each person’s individual ability to achieve visible improvements. The overall aim of the photography workshops is to make you a more creative and better photographer.

Tom Mackie has been a photographer all his working life. His degree in commercial photography took him first of all to Los Angeles, where he spent five years as an industrial and architectural photographer.

After that, the confines of a Los Angeles commercial studio were never going to hold him. Tom married his art to this new-found passion and embarked on a 'til death-do-us-part' relationship with landscape photography.
