Bespoke Street Photography Days
WITH jeff & Sarah G Ascough

Or are you someone that just wants to go out shooting for the sheer fun and enjoyment? Spend a day with us and IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE by seeing how we shoot strangers in a non-confrontational, relaxed and easy way. LEARN THE TECHNIQUES that we use to help us work quickly and effectively and without thinking about the camera. DISCOVER THE WAYS we use light and composition to make our street photographs stand out from the crowd. Above all, HAVE SOME FUN while shooting on the streets.

Bespoke days and half-days of street photography
Would you like to shoot with me or both of us? Is shooting at night something that you would like to do? Do you need help with camera settings or approaching people? Are street portraits something you would like to shoot? Whatever you want from the day, we can help you achieve it.
We offer half-day and full-day tuition personalised to you. Our dates are flexible, so you can choose a date which suits you. Weekend and weekdays are available throughout the year.
The location
What have Tony Ray-Jones, Sir Don McCullin, Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr, Tom Stoddart, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Chris Steele-Perkins, and Ian Berry all have in common? They have all captured iconic moments in the seaside resort of Blackpool. Based on the North West coast, it is a street photographer's paradise with piers, beaches, funfairs, a bustling town centre, and a fantastic collection of characters around every corner. We are fortunate to live just a few miles from the resort and it never fails to produce great pictures no matter the time of year.
The cost
Each half-day with either me costs £175 (4 hours)
A full day costs £300 (8 hours)
A full day with both myself and Sarah costs £350 (8 hours)

I am also happy to travel, so if you would prefer me or us to come to you, just let me know and we can take it from there.
