Gower Photography provides workshops for all levels of abilities, with workshops lasting from day courses to weekend workshops. The day courses are designed to try and improve the skills of participants, ensuring they obtain the best possible from their equipment whatever the camera format and to obtain images that they feel inspired by. Weekend workshops are designed to get participants to areas of Gower at the correct time for the best light to achieve successful images. Like all outdoor activities, the great British weather will have its part to play in our activities, and here in Wales we get our fair share of rain. All courses take this into account and we try to follow the Scandinavian saying that there is no such thing as the wrong weather, but the wrong choice of clothing! For us there is no such thing as the wrong weather, it just depends on what you are trying to photograph! |

The landscape changes from wide expanses of sandy beaches in the southern coastline to the flat salt marsh of the northern coastline in the Loughor Estuary.
