🌅 Sunrise Photography Workshops – East Neuk of Fife
East Neuk Photography Workshop Sunrise at Elie
Capture the magic of a Fife sunrise with photographer John Pow.
Join a small group of like-minded photographers for a hands-on sunrise workshop in the beautiful East Neuk of Fife. These sessions are designed to help you make the most of your DSLR or mirrorless camera and develop your creative vision in stunning coastal light.
Learn to Unlock Your creativity
As the sun rises over the Fife coastline, you’ll learn how to get your camera out of “Auto Mode” and capture the warm tones and shifting colours that make early morning photography so rewarding. John will guide you through camera settings, exposure, and composition, showing you how to create striking, atmospheric images straight from your own camera.

Small Groups, Personal Guidance
Each workshop is limited to four participants, ensuring plenty of one-to-one tuition and support.
Workshops begin 30 minutes before sunrise, giving you time to prepare and plan your shots as the first light appears. You’ll spend three hours shooting on location, followed by a one-hour online post-production session via Zoom (at a later date), where you’ll learn editing techniques to bring out the best in your images.
