He makes you feel welcome, relaxed and nothing is too much trouble! He simplifies instructions so that we can all understand. We all come away feeling greatly inspired and with new knowledge to become better photographers ourselves. His variety of workshops shows his broad knowledge. I particularly enjoyed the trip out onto Exmoor to photograph ponies and Highland cattle, where his enthusiasm is evident. The ambience of the smaller groups, where everyone is friendly and Mark inspires us to help each other, as well as sharing his tips and knowledge with us. I would thoroughly recommend attending any of his workshops.”Sue, Bridgwater, Somerset - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/minehead/photography-workshop-new-to-photography-in-minehead/100001984952417113 - **Event Categories**: workshops, photography, art, holiday - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 150, max: 150, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Minehead - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Minehead Harbour - **lat**: 51.2136346 - **long**: -3.4745256 - **full address**: Minehead Harbour, Quay Street, Minehead, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Photography Workshop : New to Photography in Minehead - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/f37753cfed7b73803c8507c29be4da16899a7a8ee0300c9cbe6245ea8d994d9c-rimg-w1200-h600-dc313837-gmir.jpg?v=1773242834 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Photography Workshop : New to Photography in Minehead being held? - **A:** Photography Workshop : New to Photography in Minehead takes place on Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Minehead Harbour, Quay Street, Minehead, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Photography Workshop : New to Photography in Minehead? - **A:** Photography Workshop : New to Photography in Minehead is organized by Mark Stothard Photography. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
