Matt Lauder Landscape Photography Workshops

Information

Traditional Frames

Welcome to my workshop / course section of the site. Four years ago I stepped in the field of teaching people the art of landscape photography and the skills, techniques and thought processes that go into creating the images you can see in my main gallery.

I run about 25 group courses a year and teach close to triple that in private tuition of individuals or small groups of avid learners. So all up over these four years I have taught over 500 people.

My courses cater for the real beginner to the advanced / professional photographer. You will be taught my full image capture workflow, setting up compositions and the thinking behind making an image work along with discussion on printing your work, colour management and much more, nothing is left out and no topic is off limits.

Want to discuss how to sell and make money from your photography and get into the industry then that's no problem either.

On booking my course you will be sent the courses 20 page handbook that outlines the key concepts and workflow that will be practiced and expanded upon on the day.

You will also have an account created on our Rubbing Pixel website, that will give you access to video tutorials that will take your education on image capture and editing to a whole new level.

The idea of the booklet and access to the Rubbing Pixels website is to give you a heads up on what will be covered so the learning curve is not so steep and then after the course both items will be your point of reference to refresh your memory and to take you further with your learning.

So if the work on my web site inspires you then my courses will make taking shots like this a reality. Digital or film, private or group day courses or a full weekend long workshop my courses will get you there and the additional content I provide before and after the course will support you on your journey.
