Shropshire – the base for Philip Dunn’s PhotoActive photography courses and workshops
We've enjoyed our first photography workshops after lockdown. Photography workshops are now back on the agenda. After a long, frustrating break due to the virus outbreak and months of lockdown, it was a joy to welcome four photographers to Ludlow for an Evening Photography Walk. Getting back to normal - four photographers joined my first photography workshop since lockdown for an Evening Photography Walk in Ludlow Two of the photographers booked on the photography walk decided to opt for a future date in 2021. A decision that was respected and understood. Confidence to enjoy your…
We are up and running - the photography workshops are starting again. I have re-scheduled the three photography workshops that were arranged for May this year. Please see the Photography Workshops page for full details of the new dates. Photographers are natural 'social distancers' when they are out taking photographs - even in small groups like this one on a Street Photography Workshop in Shrewsbury Safety a priority The past few months have been difficult for everyone. Now is the time - with care and commonsense - to emerge from our isolation and start enjoying…
It's been a busy time for me with lots of one-to-one photography tuition, and last week I did an Evening Photography Walk in the beautiful old town of Ludlow. A gentle form of photography tuition Six photographers on a Photography Walk in Ludlow, Shropshire. Photograph by Philip Dunn I take only six photographers on the photography walks and they are almost always over-subscribed, which is a great compliment. Certainly, judging by the number of repeat bookings and the responses I get, all the photographers seem to enjoy this gentle and enjoyable form of photography tuition.…
I’ve finally taken the big step – traded in my old DSLR Nikons and bought a new camera. Well, it’s an almost new Fuji X-Pro 2. The Nikons were getting less and less use, and my super little Fuji X-Pro 1 had become my camera of choice. I was one of the first photographers to buy into this Fuji system when the X-Pro 1 was launched a few years ago. It suited me perfectly. Having carried a heavy bag full of camera gear for most of my working life, this high quality little mirrorless camera…

Landscape Photography in the Shropshire Hills. Brian Pierce on his Shropshire one-to-one photography course. The weather closed in soon after this picture was taken - but not before we had managed to get some good photographs of this wonderful scenery
It's been a busy time with the Shropshire one-to-one photography courses this last few weeks, and I've certainly had to cover a wide range of interests and needs from the photographers On my Shropshire One-to-One photography courses I seem to have entertained just about everyone. From keen landscape photographers to students who wanted to get to grips with the mysteries of Street Photography. There have even been several photographers who preferred not to go out taking pictures at all - what they really wanted was to sit and talk about camera techniques and how to…
Dog walker on Porthill Bridge - what a great spot to photograph people in Shrewsbury
Photography Courses in Shrewsbury It's taken a couple of years, but, at last I'm in a position to 'get out more' and again start sharing my lifelong passion for photography. I've started by running Photography Courses in Shrewsbury. For 15 years until 2016 we ran countless photography courses, 121s and workshops in the lovely town of Kirkcudbright in SW Scotland. The people there were so delightful that it was a joy to take my students through the town taking pictures in the street. People, buildings, the harbour, churches, fishing boats, the river - anything and…
