Autumn Residential - New Forest Photography Workshop (November 2nd - 5th 2026)
Autumn in the New Forest is a season of colour, mist, and stillness. Ancient oaks and beech trees glow with warm tones, the forest floor is rich with texture, and soft light filters through thinning leaves. It’s one of the most rewarding and atmospheric times of year to photograph the forest.
Join me for an intimate 4-day, 3-night residential photography workshop, designed to help you slow down, tune into the forest, and learn how to capture autumn woodland scenes with depth, mood, and intention.
This is a dedicated photography workshop — not a tour or holiday. Our days will be shaped by weather, light, and conditions as we move through the forest, seeking misty mornings, subtle colour palettes, and quiet moments most visitors never see. The pace is immersive but considered, with time built in for rest, reflection, and image review.
What’s Included
✅ 4 days / 3 nights residential workshop in the New Forest
✅ Accommodation included (private or twin rooms, subject to availability)
✅ Daily guided photography sessions — sunrise, daytime, and evening shoots where conditions allow
✅ Hands-on, personalised tuition throughout
Composition & layering
Working with autumn colour
Shooting in low light and mist
Creating mood and atmosphere
✅ Image review & light editing sessions during the workshop
✅ Transport during workshop hours — moving between locations as conditions change
What We’ll Photograph
🍂 Autumn colour — oak, beech, and ancient woodland
🌫️ Misty mornings & soft forest light
🌲 Veteran trees, fallen leaves & forest textures
🍄 Seasonal details, fungi & abstract scenes
🌅 Golden-hour and moody woodland light
Who This Workshop Is For
Photographers drawn to woodland and nature photography
Beginners wanting to understand light, composition, and camera settings in challenging conditions
Intermediate photographers looking to refine their style and create more atmospheric work
Anyone who wants a quiet, immersive autumn forest experience
A basic working knowledge of your camera is recommended.
Workshop Base
Our base will be a carefully chosen New Forest accommodation, offering comfortable rooms, shared spaces for image review, and easy access to key forest locations.
Accommodation and breakfast is included in the workshop price, allowing you to fully focus on photography without worrying about logistics.
