The Excursion
A slower, more intentional way to learn photography - so you can finally create images that feel like you.Â
What you'll see in The Excursion:Â
You’ll see my wife, Kesh, folding washing in her undies in a tiny Airbnb in Paris while I try to recreate studio lighting using nothing but natural light.
You’ll see my kids, Snow and Zee, fighting at the Eiffel Tower while I try (and fail) to get the “perfect” family photo.
You’ll see me explain front and back lighting in Istanbul, with Kesh modelling in front of the Blue Mosque while the kids play with street dogs nearby.
You’ll see me struggle in very public places, second-guess compositions, miss shots… and then adjust, rethink, and find something better.
You’ll see me shoot wide open at f/1.4, stop down to f/16, and everything in between - explaining exactly why in real time.
You’ll see me chasing light on trains, in cafes, on busy streets… often not getting what I want, and working through it anyway.
You’ll even see me turn something as ordinary as a Starbucks into one of the best portrait locations of the trip.
Â
This is not a polished, perfect course.
This is a real, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually feels like to take photos like this - with a family, in unpredictable light, in real life.
I don’t stand in a studio and talk at a camera.
I take you with me - and let you into how I actually think when I’m shooting.
Â
This is for you if…Â
-
You feel like your photos don’t match what you see in your head
-
You understand the basics, but struggle to bring everything together
-
You want to capture your family and everyday life beautifully
-
You’re craving a more creative, intentional way of shooting

Â
A note from me
I didn’t create this to teach you how to take “technically perfect” photosÂ
I created it to help you slow down, understand light, and start making images that actually mean something to you.Â
