Learn the Art of Mindful Landscape & Woodland Photography with Me, Brad Carr

I attended a photography workshop with Brad in some beautiful woodland in Mid Wales. We met just in time to catch the prettiest sunrise. I’m a novice & nearly always shoot with my DSLR in an automatic setting. Brad helped me to understand my cameras various features, his explanations were clear & easy to understand. Throughout the lesson he was approachable & attentive. I don’t have an expensive camera, but I’m really happy with the shots I came away with. It’s opened my eyes to what I can achieve with it & I’m looking forward to putting some of my new found knowledge into practice. If you want to discover or develop your photography in a friendly & relaxed environment, I can thoroughly recommend Brad & his workshop.

What a fantastic morning we had! When I first heard the workshop was an hour away from home starting at 5.30am I was a bit unsure but, by god was it worth it. Brad sure knows his stuff and you can tell how enthusiastic he is about photography and trees. The whole morning was laid back, none of this talking at you and expecting you to remember things. Brad was very patient, took time with each of us individually and has a knack of explaining things in simple terms that we can all understand. All in all a fantastic morning. Thank you Brad.

Brad’s style of teaching is that of a coach that wants to help you get the best out of your own vision and art. This is not about telling you what to do, it is about asking you to think about why you are taking that particular picture and how you might improve it. This is for those who really want to take their photography to a new level of meaning and thinking. I made me realise that the most important part of the experience is to be out in nature and to try and use my photography to share the benefits of how this makes me feel.

Our recent workshop with Brad was an eyeopener. I was already into woodland photography, but Brad helped to link emotion and being-in-nature into our photography images.

Brad made the time to make sure everybody in our group had some 1-to-1 time to talk about our images and how they made us feel.

I would 100% recommend. Many thanks.

Coming on this workshop really made me see how people like Brad, with such a passion and skill in photography truly enjoy sharing their knowledge, skills and techniques. No question was ever too much and Brad was always happy to go as much into depth as needed to help understand what I had asked. A superb morning full of discussion, skill sharing and in a beautiful location!

I recently had the opportunity to spend a day with Brad for a one-to-one day at Lake Vyrnwy, and it was an incredibly productive experience. Brad had done his homework and put a lot of effort into creating a custom plan that perfectly matched my shooting style and workflow.

What impressed me most was his decision to leave his own camera behind, which allowed him to focus entirely on my work. This is something I hadn’t seen before, and it made a significant difference. He constantly encouraged me to think about what I was doing, how and why, pushing me to explore different perspectives and techniques.

The day was well-structured yet flexible, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical learning. It was a valuable session that has left a lasting impact on my photography.

Brad is as wonderful of a teacher as he is a photographer. I have had both a 1-1 lesson as well as a workshop with Brad where I experienced consistent attention, personalised feedback and a friendly atmosphere. Brad's philosophy and dedication to photography is admirable, and I couldn't recommend him enough if you're thinking of developing your landscape photography.

I enjoyed how relaxed the atmosphere was. I enjoyed the laughs we had and how nice everyone was. I enjoyed that everything was backed up with practice, no dry learning with theory only. I liked that you gave us some tips based on your experience and your photography style. I liked that we all received some 1-1 time, that you helped us to figure out how to use our cameras, provided feedback and challenges. I liked that all questions were answered and none were treated as dumb questions. I also appreciated the honesty and the fact that you didn’t try to pretend to be someone else and that you weren’t afraid to admit when you didn’t know something or didn’t know an answer to a question.
