There is nothing more welcoming or cheery than a living Spring wreath decorated with bulbs, violas and primulas to welcome visitors. The Garden centres are bursting with Spring plants so you can be as adventurous as you want with colours and shapes

I love an airy window shot, but there is nothing like a darker, moody set up to bring an image alive. This is where you can explore the story telling in your photography through light and shadow. The painterly quality of the side light is reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age which evokes an emotion that can’t be replicated with bright light.

April is a beautiful time of renewal and awakening in the garden. The perfect time to explore new combinations of colours and to get outside with the camera.

I love sharing my love of photography and how I create my imagery. This is what I teach at my floral workshops, but am happy to travel and work with people on their home ground. Learning to read the light and taking photos in your own space goes a long way to successful imagery. Join me on a flower workshop
