Personalised One-to-One Photography Workshops
Master the Art of Noticing with Leigh Windridge
Photography is more than just settings and gear; it’s about how you see the world. Whether you are struggling to find subjects in "ordinary" locations or you want to master the technical craft of your camera, my 1-to-1 workshops are designed to help you bridge the gap between a snapshot and a story.
My Non-Orthodox Approach
I don’t believe in rigid rules or gate keeping. My approach to photography - from the moment I scout a location to the final edit - is built on The Art of Noticing.
I focus on the quiet details, the play of light, and the textures that others walk past. During our time together, I’ll show you how to strip away the "jargon" and focus on what actually matters: creating images that feel like you.
What we can focus on:
The Creative Eye: Learning to find compelling compositions in any environment (Woodland, Landscape, or Wildlife).
The Technical Build: Mastering manual settings, understanding light, and using filters (ND, Polarisers) effectively.
The Editing Workflow: A relaxed look at my personal processing style and why it works for me.
Confidence Building: Working at your own pace to help you trust your creative instincts.
Location & Logistics
I offer personalised sessions in some of the UK's most inspiring locations. I select specific spots based on your physical ability and photography goals.
Primary Locations: The Peak District, The Lake District, and East Yorkshire.
Custom Locations: Have a specific spot in mind? Get in touch! I am often able to travel to a location closer to you (travel fees may apply).
Van Life Friendly: I typically stay in my campervan during workshops. If you are a fellow van-lifer or motorhome owner, I can advise on the best local spots to park up or campsites near our shooting locations.

Insurance Considerations
Please make sure you have some cover before you arrive, I hold no responsibility for any gear lost or broken while on the workshops. This includes Public Liability Insurance.
YOU are responsible for ensuring you have adequate insurance to cover you for travel related issues as well as the specialised kit that you will be using during your time with me. This needs to cover you and your kit for things such as emergency illness whilst away, theft or loss of your kit, inability to travel due to illness etc. Policies are available for as little as £9 and you may already have some insurances in place through your bank, for example. Please check the level of cover carefully prior to travel, taking note in particular of any wording regarding photographic or specialist equipment.
Cancellations
All deposits are non-refundable and I do not offer refunds in the event of a cancellation except for in special circumstances such as family emergencies etc but re-scheduling would be the first port of call.
If I become unavailable due to illness or other emergency and are unable to provide the workshop you have booked then you will have the option to re-schedule or receive a refund.
