NEWCASTLE – let’s make some seriously dramatic sports portraits.
This workshop is all about taking a simple sports portrait and giving it impact.

We’ll be playing with lighting, shape, contrast and posing to create those big, cinematic images that feel more like an advertising campaign than a standard portrait.

I’ll show you how I build the lighting from scratch, what each light is actually doing and how I work with the subject to make the final image feel powerful.

Then you’ll get to shoot it yourself.

If you want to get more confident using multiple lights, create stronger portraits or just fancy spending a few hours playing with some dramatic lighting, come and join me at WEX Newcastle.

Places are limited.

Join Steph for an afternoon exploring the creative world of Sports Portraits at WEX. If you're looking for inspiration, want to meet fellow photographers and enjoy a relaxed evening talking all things photography, we'd love to see you there.

MANCHESTER, I’m coming back!This time we’re going CLASSICAL.

Beautiful light, gorgeous styling, timeless portraits and the kind of images that could quite happily live on a wall for the next 50 years.

I’ll be showing you how I approach classical portraiture from the very beginning, where I place my lights, why I put them there, posing, expression and all those little decisions that turn a technically good portrait into something that actually has impact.

You’ll watch me shoot, see how I build everything up, and then it’s your turn to get behind the camera and shoot too.

Small group, plenty of shooting time and lots of opportunity to ask me questions.
Fancy coming to play?

We're excited to be heading to WEX Manchester for an evening of Classical Portraiture. Come along, meet Steph, enjoy an inspiring evening with fellow photographers and celebrate the timeless art of portrait photography.

We’ll be looking at how to create timeless, painterly portraits, covering lighting, posing and all the little details that bring the final image together.

I’ll be shooting live throughout, showing you exactly how I build the lighting and portrait from start to finish, then you’ll get the chance to shoot too.

Ever looked at a beauty image and thought… how on earth was that done? That’s exactly what I am showing this Septepmber!

I’m running a 3-hour Building Beauty workshop where I’ll build a full beauty setup from scratch, one light at a time, so you can actually see what each light is doing and why it’s there.

We’ll cover lighting, modifiers, placement, posing, styling and all the little decisions that take an image from “nice” to properly polished.

And then you’ll get to photograph the finished setup yourself.

It’s very hands-on, very practical, and there are limited spaces!

If beauty lighting is something you want to get more confident with, come and join me.

MANCHESTER! Who let the dogs out! 🐶📸

I’ll be at WEX Manchester on Saturday 19th September for an afternoon of dog photography, and this one is very much hands-on.

I’ll start by showing you how I work with dogs in the studio, including the stuff that can make or break a shoot. Reading their behaviour, getting their attention, working with different personalities, lighting them properly and actually getting the shot when your subject has absolutely no interest in your plans 😂

I’ll do a live shoot and talk you through what I’m doing, then you get to grab your camera and have a go with the dogs yourself.

No sitting watching me shoot for three hours. I want you taking photos too!

🐾 Real dogs in the studio
📸 Plenty of hands-on shooting
💡 Lighting, posing and camera techniques
🐶 Dog behaviour and getting the best from them
🙋‍♀️ Me there to help

📍 WEX Photo Video, Manchester
📅 Saturday 19th September
⏰ 1.30pm - 4.30pm

If you fancy spending your Saturday afternoon photographing dogs with me, come along!

If you'd like to come along, meet Steph and spend the evening with fellow photographers, we'd love to see you there.
