GEISHA 2027
A Creative Portrait Photography Experience
SAVE THE DATE
Something rather special is coming in February 2027.
Join me for a beautifully styled Geisha-inspired creative portrait photography workshop, featuring the wonderful Haruka Sato in front of the camera, with exquisite hair styling by Rose Thorogood and makeup artistry by the incredibly talented Jolie Nguyen.
This will be an intimate, hands-on photography experience designed around beautiful styling, considered lighting and plenty of opportunity to slow down and create.
Think rich colour, intricate details, elegant poses, beautiful fabrics and accessories, with a touch of drama thrown in for good measure.
What to expect
As always, this won’t be about standing in a line and grabbing a few shots.
We’ll work together through a series of carefully styled setups, exploring different lighting, poses, compositions and creative ideas. I’ll be there throughout the session to help with camera settings, lighting, directing your model and those little changes that can turn a good portrait into something much more interesting.
The group will be kept small, giving everyone plenty of shooting time and space to experiment.
You don’t need to be an expert portrait photographer either. If you’re comfortable using your camera and keen to learn, create and try something different, you’ll be very welcome.

Beautiful styling. Gorgeous light. A fabulous creative team.
And probably considerably more props than I originally planned. That tends to happen. 😂
