Learn Landscape & Astrophotography with John Wakeling

Welcome — I’m John Wakeling, a UK-based landscape and astrophotographer offering 1-to-1 photography lessons and small-group workshops across the UK.

Through my photography lessons and workshops, I help photographers slow down, understand light, and capture stronger images — whether that’s along the coast, deep in woodland, or under the night sky.

My teaching style is relaxed, practical, and rooted in real locations and real conditions. No rushing. No jargon. Just clear guidance and hands-on experience.

If you’re looking to improve your photography between Earth & Sky, you’re in the right place.
