"Tell me and I forget.
Teach me and I remember.
Involve me and I learn."

Quote...

“Mark Banks is quite simply one of the best teachers of photography I have ever met. His secret is an apparently endless supply of patience, and an acute analytical approach to developing systematic problem-solving tactics in photography, which he makes effortless and fun to learn, whether in the field or in the editing suite. Mark’s artistry, empathy, kindness and charm mean he is always a joy to work with, or to be taught by.”

~ Joe Cornish

Testimonials

He is one of the best educators I have ever worked with, regardless of discipline…I will come back in a heartbeat, to take other workshops at the gallery that Mr Banks is conducting.”

~ Mr R Fosler, Massachusetts, USA

"I just wanted to thank you once again for the Robin Hood’s Bay course last week. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but more than that I left with a far greater confidence in my compositional abilities, and a decent basic knowledge of Lightroom. The location, accommodation and organisation were first-rate, and your maxim of always considering the composition and only later considering whether you could pull it off resounded."

~ Mr N Farrimond, London

The day actually relighted my interest in going out locally.

~ Mr M Taylor, Leeds

Mark not only has an extensive knowledge of photography and Lightroom and a keen eye for making a good picture, he also has the essential skill of all good trainers - the ability to match himself to his client and their way of working and learning. He has combed out the tangles of my (self-taught) Lightroom set-up, shown me how to use the tools properly and effectively, and got me excited about making the most of my pictures. I wish I had known about his tutorials when I first started out!

~ Mrs Carol C, York

This exciting one day workshop is intended for those that already have a good grasp of the fundamentals of photography (or have completed one of Mark's one-day beginner workshops) and are now looking for more creative ways of expressing themselves through their art.

Over the course of the day Mark will discuss and demonstrate the techniques used to become more creative with your camera including:

Achieving a balanced landscape using graduated filters
Creating long exposure images
Black and White Photography
Intentional Camera Movement (for a more abstract look)

After an initial welcome talk, Mark will transport all participants to a beautiful location in North Yorkshire to try out the techniques discussed using their own camera equipment. Mark will, of course, be on hand throughout the day to give advice and tuition as well as offer tips and tricks where appropriate.

This workshop is for a maximum of 4 people. Participants must have a basic understanding of aperture and shutter settings along with using their camera in manual mode. Along with a camera and tripod, all participants must bring at least a basic set of graduated filters (including a 1, 2 & 3 stop set of hard graduated filters), filter holder and lens ring for each of the lenses they bring. We highly recommend the Lee range of filters, but this is not essential nor a requirement for this workshop.

If you are booking a workshop for someone else, please let us know the details of the person you are booking for.

Who should attend and what should I bring?

This workshop is intended for photographers who wish to further their creative landscape photography skills or have completed a beginner's workshop. Participants will be expected to bring all necessary equipment for such a workshop including tripod, charged batteries and any other camera equipment they wish to bring, and of course water-proof clothing and suitable footwear.
