Why participate

“I attended the workshop at 8 Bishopsgate. It was a fantastic day that began with a talk by WilkinsonEyre and Tim, providing valuable context for photographing the building’s architecture. Throughout the day, it was great to receive professional tips from Tim, who encouraged us to think creatively about composition and explore the building through the lens. The format was engaging and inclusive for all skill levels and equipment, fostering a great discussion on what makes a successful photograph.”
– Alex Jackson, Piercy and Co

“A thoughtful and engaging workshop where Tim shared a remarkable depth of knowledge and encouraged us to look more carefully at the world through his lens.”
– Fergus Knox, Knox Bhavan

“Architects often have a strong interest in photography, yet some lack the confidence to capture architecture through a camera. I was invited to the workshop led by Tim at the YY building and initially hesitated, assuming it would be aimed at professionals. I had no equipment of my own, but I was reassured that an iPhone would be perfectly fine…so I decided to go. I’m very glad I did. The day was well structured, offering a welcome chance to “slow down” and thoughtfully observe a constructing each in use and intimately. The occasion was relaxed, informative, and gratifying. I notably valued studying from Tim in the course of the ultimate crit session, the place we had been in a position to see simply how spectacular everybody’s images had been.”
– ​Tom Wells, AHMM
