Eryri Ancient Woodland and Lakes Photography Workshop

  • 25th April, 2026

  • £259.00

  • Approximately - Loading...

Our Eryri (Snowdonia) photography workshop 'Ancient Woodland and Lakes' will take place in April 2026 with Brad Carr.

Eryri boasts some truly majestic and utterly beautiful areas which are well-documented online on social media platforms and in books and magazines. But it is in the smaller and lesser-known corners of the national park that the magic and mystery of this ancient landscape is best uncovered. It is in these untrodden corners, that the deeper stories of Mother Nature’s infinite beauty become even more enchanting and mysterious, and it is to some of these wilder parts of the landscape that Brad will be guiding you on this workshop.

Eryri Ancient Woodland and Lakes Photography Workshop

Eryri Ancient Woodland and Lakes Photography Workshop
During this workshop, the focus will be on adopting a storytelling approach to photography. We will be looking at what makes the landscape unique to you. There will, therefore, be almost as much focus on conversation as there will be on creating photographs. Brad will encourage plenty of reflection. Why do you create? What events have led you here to the point where you’re standing outdoors in the landscape creating photographs? Everybody has a story to tell, and Brad recognises that it is important to try to tell it through our photographs to make deeper and more meaningful art.

Some of the further themes and topics that will be covered during this workshop will be:

  • Learning how to ‘see’ compositions within the landscape
  • Getting intimate with your location; simplifying the landscape; finding smaller scenes within the whole
  • Communicating something ‘more’ and applying a storytelling approach to photography
  • Creating a series of photographs to tell a deeper story of a place
  • Adopting mindful approach to creativity and connecting with subjects first
  • Slowing down and seeing how photographs then begin to appear
  • Finding personal meaning in our photographs and conveying & expressing emotions
  • Understanding light & utilising it for powerful and compelling photographs

We will be meeting at 5.30am just outside of the picturesque village of Beddgelert for sunrise beside a spectacular lake that provides tremendous views of two of the national park's stunning mountain ranges. We’ll then move on to one or two (depending on how the day plays out) further woodland locations nearby, which will require a short drive and, perhaps, a parking charge for non-National Trust members. Both locations involve short, uphill walks. The workshop will finish at around 1:30pm.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

City Tours

Interested in architectural photography or street photography? Do you get a buzz from photographing city life? Then a city tour is for you. We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography. Tours range in length from weekend breaks, ideal for those who don’t have may days holiday left, or longer tours to allow yourself to truly explore the city. Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.
