Our North Yorkshire Coast & Woodland tour in November 2024 offers exceptional photographic opportunities in both coastal and woodland locations. The tour has been timed to take advantage of the beautiful late Autumn colour and dynamic coastal light. The North York Moors National Park offers an array of stunning scenery and at this time of year the conditions lend themselves perfectly to landscape photography.

This tour is led by Joe Cornish and Sam Gregory, both of whom are delighted to share their experience and passion for this area with you. Joe lives nearby and this is a rare opportunity to join a workshop with both leaders in this photogenic area.

North Yorkshire Coast and Woodland Photography Tour

North Yorkshire Coast and Woodland Photography Tour
Robin Hoods Bay makes a great base for any photographic workshop, almost any time of year, and especially in Autumn. It is particularly convenient for sunrises since one of the best views of the Bay is from right outside our hotel! The old town is extremely picturesque and offers some interesting challenges for architectural photography. The beach is complex but can be an interesting location in certain kinds of lighting and with the experience of our leaders you will be guided to the best opportunities.

A few miles further north is Whitby, steeped in history, including the history of photography as it was the home town of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. James Cook’s voyages of discovery started here, and it was once a major whaling port. Long before then, the mighty medieval abbey that stands on the clifftop dominated the town for centuries, although today it is a picturesque ruin (English Heritage). In stormy conditions the breakwaters and piers are spectacular, although safest when seen from a distance with a long lens.

Staithes is the artist’s colony of the area, and is fantastically atmospheric, as well a great place for more architectural studies. The village in its landscape, framed by its headlands and the sea, is an iconic image of the English coast. Joe and Sam will be on hand to help you make compelling images and encourage your photographic development.

There are other gems in the area which we may visit, such as Sandsend and Runswick Bay.

North Yorkshire Coast Landscape Photography Tour

There is also the amazing woodland surrounding May Beck and Falling Foss. This steep-sided valley is decorated with magnificent trees, mainly beech, and winding paths open up a range of perspectives. This is absolutely the peak time of the autumn for colour, and it’s especially good here if there is mist and/or rain. The waterfall, Falling Foss, can make a spectacular sight in full spate, but it is probably the trees that will demand our attention.

There are many other wonderful places to visit in the area including the impressive landscape feature known as the Hole of Horcum. In addition to the well-known spots there are numerous undiscovered gems that Joe has discovered in his many years photographing in the area. We won’t be listing them here as we would prefer they remain undiscovered…but we may have time to visit some of them during the course of this workshop.

North Yorkshire Woodland Photography Tour

We will do our best to match the landscapes and sites to the weather and your leaders Joe & Sam will be on hand throughout to guide and inspire in equal measure. There will also be opportunities for image reviews and post-processing discussions during the time we are not out in the landscape.

Please note: due to the nature of the coastal locations we do require participants to have good mobility and endurance for the conditions. The ground is often uneven, and rocks can be slippery. If you have any queries about access or the physical demands, please do contact us before booking.

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.

Easy - most locations are arrived at by vehicle, and most subjects and viewpoints are within easy reach. No particular level of fitness is required.

Moderate - these tours involve some walking, perhaps sometimes in towns, or on well developed trails. There may be a limited amount of uphill walking. Please advise if you have any fitness concerns.

Strenuous - these are tours which may include demanding levels of walking, including some prolonged or steep ascents and descents. Rough terrain (off the beaten track) may well be encountered. A reasonable level of fitness is required for these trips.
