Critter Country Workshop — Dauin, Philippines
2–12 May 2027
Dauin is one of those places that gets under your skin. The muck slopes and sandy seabeds look deceptively simple from the surface — but drop down and you enter a world teeming with life in every direction. Pygmy seahorses. Frogfish. Hairy shrimp. Ghostpipefish. Around every corner, something extraordinary is waiting to be found.
And that is exactly what this workshop is about — learning to really see what is in front of you, and then capturing it in a way that makes your viewer stop, feel something, and never forget it.
Whether you are picking up an underwater camera for the first time or you have been diving with one for years, the Critter Country Workshop meets you exactly where you are. We start from a level playing field — understanding the settings that give you consistently sharp, well-lit images — and build from there. Lighting that highlights detail and texture. Snooting and black backgrounds that isolate your subject and draw the eye. Bokeh techniques that separate your critter from the world around it. Creative approaches that move your images from record shots to genuine storytelling.
Dauin’s critters are endlessly patient subjects. You will have time to slow down, practice, and push your boundaries in a safe, supportive environment — with personalised coaching that is shaped around your camera, your goals, and where you want to go as a photographer.
By the end of these ten days, you will not just have a portfolio full of images you are proud of. You will understand why they work — and that changes everything.
This is a small-group, highly personalised workshop. Places are limited.
Small & Spectacular Workshop — Puerto Galera, Philippines
13–23 May 2027
Beneath the surface, this is a destination of extraordinary detail — vivid reef life, a dizzying diversity of small subjects, and moments of pure colour and connection tucked into every crevice and coral head. It rewards the patient photographer. The one who is willing to get low, get close, and really engage with what is in front of them.
The Small & Spectacular Workshop is built around exactly that philosophy. The small subjects here are the stars of the show — and this workshop will give you the skills, the eye, and the confidence to do them justice.
We cover everything from the foundations — getting tack-sharp images and understanding your settings across every camera type — through to the techniques that separate good underwater images from genuinely great ones. Proper lighting that brings out colour, texture, and life. The art of isolating your subject against a background that serves the image, not fights it. Creative techniques that help you move beyond documentation and into storytelling. And the mindset shift that happens when you stop hoping for a good shot and start creating one with intention.
Whatever camera you are shooting, whatever stage you are at, you will leave with a portfolio that shows real range, real skill, and your own emerging style.
Puerto Galera has a lot to offer. So do you. Let’s find out what that looks like together.
Small group. Personalised coaching. No two workshops are ever the same.
Weird & Wonderful Workshop — Lembeh, Indonesia
29 August–8 September 2027
There is nowhere on earth quite like Lembeh.
The Lembeh Strait is legendary in underwater photography circles — and for very good reason. The critters here are unlike anything you will find anywhere else. Mimic octopus. Wunderpus. Hairy frogfish. Flamboyant cuttlefish. Bobbit worms. Rhinopias. Species that look like they were dreamed up by someone with a very vivid imagination. Lembeh does not just offer great macro subjects — it offers an entirely different way of seeing the underwater world.
The Weird & Wonderful Workshop leans fully into that. This is ten days of going deep on macro photography — technically, creatively, and emotionally. We will strip back the settings and rebuild your understanding of how your camera and lighting actually work together, so that whatever you encounter in this extraordinary strait, you have the knowledge and instincts to capture it beautifully.
That means sharp, consistent images across every camera type. Lighting that reveals texture and draws the viewer into the frame. Snooting and black backgrounds that make your subject impossible to look away from. Bokeh and depth of field used with intention. Creative techniques that push you beyond your comfort zone. And the kind of photographic storytelling that makes someone feel something when they look at your image — not just see it.
Lembeh has a way of making photographers braver. The subjects demand it. The environment inspires it. And this workshop is designed to make the most of every minute you spend beneath the surface.
By the time you surface on the final dive, you will not be the same photographer you were when you arrived. Lembeh has a habit of doing that.
Strictly limited places. Personalised to your camera, your level, and your creative goals.
Wide Wonders Workshop — Raja Ampat, Indonesia
8 – 18 September 2027
There is nowhere on earth quite like Raja Ampat.
This archipelago of over 1,500 islands in Indonesia’s West Papua province sits at the heart of the Coral Triangle — the most biodiverse marine ecosystem on the planet. The reefs are pristine, and the sheer abundance of life in every direction is the kind of thing that makes experienced divers go quiet.
The Raja Ampat Wide Angle Wonders Workshop is ten days of learning to see and capture the underwater world at its most expansive — technically, creatively, and emotionally. We will work on balancing your strobes with the ambient light so your images reflect the colour, depth, and drama of what you are actually seeing. We will talk about storytelling — how to build a frame that does not just document what was there, but makes the viewer feel like they were there too.
That means understanding the relationship between your shutter speed, your aperture, and your strobes, so the blue of the water behind your subject looks as rich as it did to your eyes. It means learning to position yourself so the reef comes alive behind a diver in the middle distance. It means approaching a subject with intention, not just luck — and coming back to the surface with images that genuinely reflect the beauty of this place.
The workshop is open to non-photographers and photographers of all levels and all camera systems. Whether you are shooting a mirrorless DSLR, TG or a compact, the principles are the same — and so is the potential.
Raja Ampat has a way of expanding what you think is possible underwater. This workshop is designed to make sure your images do justice to that feeling — and that you leave knowing exactly how to recreate it, dive after dive, wherever you go next.
Strictly limited places. Personalised to your camera, your level, and your creative goals.
