2026 Schedule:
Talking to Trees | Multiday Artistic Development Workshop in South Wales
Date: 2nd - 4th October
Group Size: 4 participants
Investment: £425
Join me, Brad Carr, for a transformative and unforgettable woodland photography workshop experience in the heart of the Black Mountains, near Brecon Beacons in South Wales.
We will be spending three days intensively focusing on the art of woodland photography in one area of ancient, broadleaf woodland. I will guide you through the entire creative process from the initial discovery of a woodland through to the finish: a collection of portfolio-worthy photographs with a story, a meaning, and a piece of your soul contained within them.
Much of the weekend will be spent deep in thought and reflection, as I’ll be asking many questions of you to help you develop as a photographer and artist. As much of this journey is spent in this reflective and introspective state of mind. I believe, therefore, it is of the utmost importance that we utilise the power of thought if we wish to grow as artists and people in general.
A Bridge Between Two Worlds - Residential Creative Retreat in Eryri (Snowdonia)
Date: 14th - 18th October 2026
Group Size: 4 Participants
Investment: £1,295
In this four-night, five-day landscape & Nature photography creative retreat in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales, you will learn how to use the art of landscape photography as a means to deepen your connection to Nature, yourself, and others as a result.
You will be practicing photography in many of the national parks’ most spectacular woodland locations and wild landscapes, walking the lesser-trodden footpaths to discover some of the most sacred environments that Wales has to offer.
This is not your usual kind of photography workshop, as you will spend time inquiring and in deeper thought about the photographs you create through journaling practices and reflective conversation, whilst immersed in the landscape and at our place of residence in the evenings.
Scotland Creative Photography Retreat with Murray Livingston
Date: 21st - 25th October
Group Size: 6 participants
Investment: £1,850
Embark on an unforgettable 2-day autumn photography retreat set amongst the breathtaking scenery of Scotland’s Ancient Caledonian Forest. Under the expert guidance of acclaimed photographers Murray Livingston and Brad Carr, you'll explore majestic woodland vistas looking over the Scottish Highlands’ mountain landscape, gnarly ancient forests, intimate small scenes, and learn about the re-wilding and conservation efforts being undertaken in this important habitat.
This immersive workshop is designed to enhance your photography skills as you find your creative voice, from capturing grand landscapes to discovering intimate compositions. It is open to all skill levels.
The Ancient Caledonian Forest is Scotland’s native woodland, found in remote pockets of the Highlands. Its serene beauty and rarity make it a haven for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. Walks are easy to moderate; a basic level of fitness is required. The retreat will be limited to 6 places (plus Murray & Brad).
