Before we share the details of our landscape photography workshop, let’s get to know more about the photography guide who will be accompanying you in the Lake District.

Carl Hare pairs creative experience with technical know-how as our FUJIFILM UK Experiential Marketing Specialist, FUJIFILM School Trainer and as a freelance photographer based in Hampshire. His photography spans many genres and while his professional roots trace back to weddings, Carl is equally adept at commercial product, studio portraiture, macro, street, travel, landscapes and wildlife photography.

Keen to share his wealth of knowledge, Carl has delivered photography workshops for close to a decade. His passion for the outdoors is a constant source of inspiration and when he can combine it with his teaching skills, there’s simply nothing better – for him and his students.
