Good evening

Since 2015, Dibs and Duncan have been running Through the Lens Workshops, covering a wide range of photography genres. Over the years, we’ve made countless friends and shared incredible experiences. We’ve had participants join us for workshops, with some going on to pursue careers in photography, while others have simply enjoyed learning more about a hobby they love. From mock weddings to exploring military bases more times than we can count, and hosting so many day and night photography sessions, we’ve lost track. We’ve travelled across the country with people who have become more than just attendees—they’ve become friends we’ll stay connected with for years to come.

However, the management of Through the Lens Workshops is going to change. As of April 2025, Through the Lens Workshops will be coming to a close as Duncan focuses on larger work projects and prepares for a triathlon.

That said, Dibs will continue to run his own workshops, which can be found on his website. We expect a smooth transition from Through the Lens Workshops to Dibs Photography for those of you looking to continue developing your photography skills.

For anyone who still has vouchers to redeem, we still have six workshops available on the website. If any of these do not take your fancy, remaining Through the Lens Workshop vouchers can also be used for Dibs’ workshops until the 1st of June 2025. To redeem these, please email Dibs directly.

Best wishes,
Dibs & Duncan

Good evening

Did somebody say Tulips🌷😍
Woop woop, the private sunset-to-night shoot session is back for yet another year and we will have even more amazing things to photograph whilst raising money for two amazing charities.

Tickets with the details go on sale on Monday morning (8th April) on our website.

This year you will have free roam of the field once it gets shut off to the public, 2 models during daylight hours are gifting their time so a donation is welcome for them if you wish to shoot them.

Then covered in the ticket price we will have some fire performers juggling and spinning with fire as the sun goes down, and if that is not enough we will then have wire wool spinning and a short light painting session after the sun has fully set.

Here are a few pics I grabbed last year whilst helping others to get photos.

Our Story

How our workshops run;
Our workshops are aimed at all levels from beginners through to experienced photographers, we will cover all aspects of digital photography explaining the fundamentals such as exposure, metering, camera settings, image composition and lens choice where required or cover more advanced techniques such as the use of filters, exposure and focus bracketing for the more experienced photographer. We will also start to cover more advanced techniques and also give tips on software for editing and how to use it.

The group size will always be kept to a manageable size to ensure that there is plenty of time to assist each participant and what stands us out from other photography workshops is that with multiple instructors, we are able to form smaller groups based on levels of experience to ensure that you receive tuition in the areas that are most beneficial to you maximising the knowledge you will take away with you.

Our workshops are planned carefully to coincide with the optimum times and conditions for the locations selected, whether this be tide state, sunset or sunrise time and position and the knowledge we use to achieve this will be passed on during the workshop.

2 of our tutors are St Johns Ambulance 1st aid at work trained and we have public liability events insurance. Please note that the insurance does not cover your camera equipment. So please be careful with your equipment, we always recommend having your equipment insured with a professional Photographic insurance company and not just covered under your home insurance.

The workshops are run by a dedicated team of friends and photographer partners who have helped run and organised some of the most popular workshops in the country that have sold out in a matter of hours. We plan for all outcomes but sometimes weather will beat us and we have to cancel. In this instance a full refund will be given if the new date that's gets arranges is not convenient.

What you will require

With all genres of photography, your equipment list can seem never ending. We don't recommend you rush out to buy all the expensive equipment, we would rather you learnt how to use what you have correctly and our workshops will make sure you can do just that. As your passion and skill set grows you, will learn exactly what bits of gear you need and save yourself wasting money on buying equipment that you don't need. We are always just a message away from offering attendees of our workshops advice on purchases they may be about to make.

The essentials bits you will need will be a DSLR Camera, spare batteries and memory cards, tripod, lens and camera bag

A few more little notes

More specific details based on the workshop style will be included within the detail of each advertised workshop date(s), this will include details of recommended equipment requirements and also details around transport, accommodation, food and drink where appropriate, however should you have a query around the workshop or equipment requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will endeavour to provide a prompt response to your enquiry.
