Autumn Residential - New Forest Photography Workshop (November 2nd - 5th 2026)

from £400.00

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.

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
