2026: Domestic Histories Online Course
£190
Domestic Histories looks at how family, domestic, and local histories have been shown in photographic practice.
It will look at family, childhood, album photography, histories of childhood, and photography of the domestic and local to examine the different strategies for communicating ideas in contemporary photography.
If you have never studied photography, these lectures will give you a fast track introduction to the history of photography and its theory. And if you have studied photography, it will present new possibilities that will refresh your understanding of what photography is and what it can be.

2026 Summer Online Project Development Workshop
The Spring course is now full but you can reserve your spot for the summer course (April - July, dates tbc) through this link)
April - July 2026 online - 5 group seminars and 2 one-to-one tutorials.
£190
Over a period of five sessions (and two 30 minute tutorials) this online course will look at the different ways in which you can develop your personal project.
It will help get you started on a new project, it will get an old project moving in new directions, and it will help complete a project nearing completion.
The course will focus on participants’ practice, the work they are making, and how projects can be developed into coherent stories that might be told in print, in the gallery, in photobooks.
Each session will use the impetus from participants’ projects to highlight how sequencing, text, and narrative overlap and interact.
Peer-to-peer participation is a central element of the course.
Individual sessions will take place in April/July
Time: 18:00 – 20:00 British Time
Dates: Summer dates, Tuesdays April - July tbc
Writing for Photographers
Need a text for your project? Do you need some words to get to the heart of your project?
Need a statement that merges theory, practice and what makes your work so unique?
If you do, get in touch. I might be able to help.
Mentoring
I mentor photographers both highly experienced and those who are looking to add a critical element to their practice.
In these mentoring sessions we work together (both in-person and/or online) on how projects can be developed, how theory can tie into practice, how a visual voice can be developed, how text can add to image, how you can strengthen the project you are working on.
Feel free to contact me with any questions if you are are interested.
