Photowalks for creative enthusiasts
Hi, I'm Celie - a Photographer who finds inspiration and peace in the outdoors.
Join me on a Photowalk to experience mindful image-making and offline connection.
Through my love of nature and photography, I have learned that the best camera is the one you have on you.
Photography is all about connection
Reconnect with yourself and meet fellow creative folks on this gentle workshop, where you'll practice the art of observation to help you slow down and enjoy nature up close.
You’ll be guided into a relaxed and inspired headspace through a short grounding exercise, then learn technical and storytelling skills so you can make better photos of your surroundings.
All levels of photography experience are welcome and you are invited to bring whatever phone or camera(s) you enjoy making photographs with.
You don't need to have a professional camera to take part - your phone will do!
The events go something like this:
We’ll all meet at our location and get to know each other.
I’ll help you get into a relaxed and inspired headspace through a short grounding exercise
As we walk, I’ll share what I look out for when taking photos, making examples and talking through my thoughts and technical processes.
There’ll be observational exercises and activities to learn through playful experimentation.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask me any specific questions as we go
Finally we'll reflect on our experience and share our photos with one another.
Upcoming Photowalks
Sunday 20th September
Heavens Gate, near Frome
These events aren’t about making perfect photos or becoming a professional photographer, it’s about having fun and indulging in a passion - old or new.
If you'd like to get more intentional with your phone use, test out your shiny new camera, or make use of the old compact collecting dust on the shelf, these Photowalks are for you!
These Photowalks are an opportunity for Photography Enthusiasts to:
Practice being still and at peace with nature
Slow down and notice the gorgeous colours, textures and shapes that make a great photo
Fill your creative cup by indulging a passion without an agenda
Learn how to get the most out of your camera or phone
Identify the best lighting for the aesthetic you're aiming for
Build your confidence in using whatever camera you have access to
Kind Words From Past Photowalkers
-
“I really enjoyed the morning, even with the weather!
It has encouraged me to get out more with my camera, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it
Thank you very much for hosting, also the hot chocolate. It was lovely to meet you, can't wait for the next one”
— FLO

“I had a lovely time exploring a park I’d been to many times, but this time viewing it in a different light.
Celie’s photographic insight was thought provoking and gentle.
We were given plenty of time to explore on our own with our cameras and also come together with others to share ideas.
Finishing with hot chocolate and the biscuits was a wonderful surprise! I left feeling very calm.”
— CAT PIPER

“This Photowalk was incredible! Rediscovering my love of photography through simple things like finding colour palettes in the wild and practicing the Art of Noticing is 100% something I’ll be doing more often now.”
— DOMINIQUE MARSHALL
