Lesson 4
Planning for Landscape Photography
Landscape photography isn’t just about going to a great location and waiting for the sun to set. It’s imperative to get the planning right weeks or even months in advanced. Learn the secrets to planning for a shoot and give yourself the best chance possible before you even get there.
Lesson 5
Location Scouting & Waterfalls
After the planning stage, Tom and the team arrive on location to scout out the areas. During the scouting, Tom comes across a waterfall and like a true pro, an opportunity like this doesn’t get wasted!
Lesson 6
Waterfall Edit
It’s not all about the planning and taking of landscape photography. They need to be finished off via editing techniques. Tom uses Adobe Lightroom to edit his pictures and in this lesson, he teaches you how. You also have the RAW files to work along with Tom if you wish.
Lesson 7
Wast Water Shoot
In this lesson, we go to a remote location called Wast Water. Wast Water is a lake located in the western part of the Lake District National Park and is surrounded by epic mountains. Tom explains his ideas for the shoot, how he will use the light and compose his photography before taking photos of this epic scene.
Lesson 8
Wast Water Edit
Here we are back in the studio looking through the photography taken at Wast Water. Via the images Tom recaps on the shoot then goes onto to edit some of the photography taken in Lightroom. You will also get the raw files to work along with Tom if you wish.
Lesson 9
Blea Tarn Shoot
In this lesson, we travel to Blea Tarn which is located in a hanging valley in the centre of the Lake District. On arrival, the weather’s not looking too great but Tom put’s his planning into action and as the clouds clear some epic photography is captured.
Lesson 10
Blea Tarn Edit
Again, we are back in the studio looking through the pictures and Tom goes through his process of editing a panoramic image and a raw file from the drone. As with all the edits, you will get the raw files to follow along and learn with Tom.
Lesson 11
Buttermere Shoot
Buttermere is one of the more popular areas to photograph in this area. We arrive early morning and the conditions are great, perfectly still water while the sun rises over the mountains. Tom uses his unique techniques to chase the light and achieves several A grade pictures with a DSLR and a drone.
Lesson 12
Buttermere Edit
Here we are back in the studio looking through the pictures and giving them those finishing touches in Lightroom. Again, you have the raw files to follow along and learn the process with Tom.
Lesson 13
Catbells Shoot
Catbells is a mountain peak in Cumbria, England. Not many photographers venture here due to 2-hour hike to get to the top. But that didn’t stop us! We hiked up for sunset and was presented with some challenging conditions for photography.
Lesson 14
Catbells Edit
In this lesson, we review the photography and discuss how the conditions dictated the look of them. Then Tom uses his editing skills to create some pretty epic scenery. As with the other lessons, you will have the raw files to follow along should you wish.

About your Tutor
Tom is an award-winning freelance photographer based in London. He began his love for photography in his early 20s and has worked as a professional photographer since 2011. His style incorporates epic and dramatic landscapes, showing the scale and beauty of the world. Tom states “I really want to show off the magic of a scene and inspire people to get out and travel to that place”.
Tom has worked with many big brands from Panasonic to L’Oreal to Google. He also works for tourist boards such as My Switzerland, Tourism Ireland and Destination Canada to name but a few.
Tom’s journey in photography started at school where his interest in creative subjects such as Art and Graphic Design took hold. His career path took a turn and when he was 20, he joined the Police Force. After 3 years in the force, he realised that wasn’t for him and he left the police to travel the world. This is where a real passion for landscape and travel photography began. Tom recalls “I love to travel, and I loved to capture those moments and scenes so when I got back, I decided to make this my career” and he hasn’t looked back since.
