🌄 Landscape Photography Lessons

1-to-1 Tuition with John Wakeling

If you want to take stronger, more intentional landscape photographs, my 1-to-1 landscape photography lessons are designed to help you slow down, understand light, and build confidence in the field.

I offer relaxed, practical tuition in real locations — helping you move beyond guesswork and start creating images you’re genuinely proud of.

From landscapes to night skies — capturing everything Between Earth & Sky.

 

Who These Lessons Are For

These lessons are ideal if you:

  • Are new to landscape photography and want a solid foundation

  • Feel stuck and unsure why your images don’t match what you see

  • Want to improve composition, sharpness, and exposure

  • Prefer learning outdoors rather than in a classroom

  • Want personal guidance tailored to your camera and style

Lessons are suitable for beginners and intermediate photographers.

 

What You’ll Learn

Every lesson is tailored to you, but commonly we’ll cover:

📷 Camera & Technique

  • Camera setup for landscape photography

  • Exposure control in changing light

  • Achieving sharp focus from foreground to background

  • Tripod technique and shooting workflow

🧭 Composition & Seeing the Scene

  • Finding strong compositions in real locations

  • Using foregrounds, layers, and leading lines

  • Simplifying busy scenes

  • Choosing the right focal length

🌤 Working With Light & Conditions

  • Reading light and weather

  • Planning sunrise and sunset shoots

  • Adapting when conditions change

  • Slowing down and shooting with intention

We work on location, so everything you learn is immediately practical and repeatable.


Optional Post-Processing Session (Highly Recommended)

To complete the capture-to-finish workflow, you can add a dedicated editing session.

What This Includes

  • Lightroom editing workflow

  • Image selection and refinement

  • Colour and contrast control

  • Developing a natural, consistent look

This session helps connect the dots between what you capture in the field and the final image you share.
