Ancient Oaks and Enchanted Light Workshop - With Dave Peck
Suffolk UK
Step into a world of timeless beauty with my exclusive Woodland Photography Workshops, held in some of Suffolk’s most atmospheric natural locations. With over 40 years behind the camera and 16 years’ experience as a photography teacher, I’ll guide you through capturing the soul of the forest—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned shooter.
Your 8 hour session will begin at or around sunrise at Staverton Thicks, a rare and magical ancient woodland where I have special permission to photograph on private land. Here, we’ll focus on the gnarled and twisted oak trees, many of which have stood since the days of Henry VIII. Their sculptural forms, dappled light, and rich textures provide a perfect setting to slow down and see creatively.
Next, we move to nearby Rendlesham Forest, where heathland, pine forests , and elegant silver birch combine to offer a completely different woodland experience. We’ll explore the contrast between these landscapes and discuss how to adapt your approach for different environments.
After the shoot, you’ll be invited to a one-hour online session where we’ll review and process a selection of your favourite images from the day. It’s a relaxed but valuable chance to learn post-processing techniques and refine your final results.
This Workshop is limited to 4 people to allow me to give each photographer ample 1-2-1 time £200pp
