I joined Ollie for a workshop in Tenerife in May 2022. I would highly recommend joining one of these workshops; Ollie is very knowledgeable, experienced and great to work with. This was my first workshop with Ollie and he exceeded my expectations. The main point of a workshop is to learn something new and come away with some new skills, and I certainly did.

I've been on several of Ollie's workshops the latest being in Tenerife. As always Ollie worked hard to ensure everyone got great shots from a wide variety of locations. You simply can't fault his energy and creativity. Highly recommended if you want to learn about night/astro photography and aren't afraid of long cold nights!

Ollie comes highly recommended. I’m just back from his astrophotography workshop in Tenerife during which we learned some entirely new (to me) ways to photograph the Milky Way. How to scout locations very precisely in advance, how to use star trackers and why/when to use various focal lengths. We got plenty of practice in some wonderful locations. He knows his stuff and is very well prepared (he’s constantly making and re-making plans to dodge bad weather/make the most of the time).
