Look beyond the big things! Fun and creative nature photography workshop to encourage young people to get outdoors, explore.

This fun and creative nature photography workshop aims to encourage young people to get outdoors, explore their natural surroundings and discover the beauty of the smaller things in nature through mobile phone photography.

The workshop will introduce young people to the art of taking nature still shots using their own mobile phones, showing them that they don't need expensive cameras or specialist equipment to capture beautiful photographs. With a little imagination, patience and an eye for detail, there are wonderful photographic opportunities all around us.

The main focus is to encourage participants to look beyond the big things and start noticing the little details that are often overlooked. From the delicate patterns on leaves and the texture of tree bark to tiny insects, wildflowers, raindrops and interesting natural shapes, the workshop will help young people see the natural world from a different perspective.

Participants will learn some basic photography skills, including composition, focusing, natural lighting, close-up photography and experimenting with different angles and viewpoints. They will then have the opportunity to put these skills into practice by exploring outdoors and creating their own collection of nature photographs.

Most importantly, the workshop is about having fun, being creative and developing a greater appreciation for the environment. It aims to inspire young people to put down their tablets and consoles, pick up their mobiles, step outside, slow down and reconnect with nature.

The message is simple: You don't have to travel far or look for something spectacular to take a great photograph. Sometimes the most beautiful things are right under your feet – you just have to look a little closer!

*Participants must be knowledgeable for the workings of their mobile phone cameras and adult supervision of young people attending workshop is necessary for the duration. Only pay for young people participating.
