Sarah Howard

Born in the Cotswolds, and returning to the area after some time spent traveling overseas and recording images, landscape and travel photographer Sarah Howard is known for producing inspiring images of breathtaking beauty. Her interest in photography was initiated through her travels and encouraged by her father; an accomplished amateur photographer, to develop her creative talent, she has found the eye of the camera has allowed her to view her surroundings in greater depth. Through it Sarah seeks to capture the immense diversity and beauty of our world.

Aside of the UK, where she has held a number of successful exhibitions, Sarah has previously exhibited in both Australia and New Zealand. Her work has been published in numerous magazines and she is represented by two image libraries; World Pictures and Britain On View. Her first book; ‘A Year in the Life of Westonbirt’ was published by Frances Lincoln in September 2009 and is already in its second edition.

Says Sarah; As a creative tool the camera has allowed me to express my love of the landscape and reveal its many facets". What is simply often seen as an instrument to record images can in fact allow the individual great opportunity for creative expression. Photography has changed my life, it’s opened my eyes and made me really see what is around me and with a greater appreciation of the landscape I have also developed a greater connection. For me the challenge is always to recreate that moment when I made my image and to allow the viewer to step inside it. Photography is my passion, I am lost without my camera

Martyn Ferry

Based in the Cotswolds Martyn is not only a published photographer but having worked
in the field of graphic design for some years has an excellent knowledge of image enhancement, manipulation and processing.

He has worked with Photoshop for the last 12 years both in a professional capacity and also personally on various photographic projects. Working across a range of disciplines has enabled him to gain an in-depth understanding of what this programme has to offer those looking to improve their images and their post processing workflow.

To get the best out of a programme which can, to the beginner seem quite daunting, is to keep it simple. “As a tutor my job is to enable people to build their confidence and skills, work at a pace that is suitable for them and most importantly enjoy the learning process”.

Most of Martyn’s photographic work is landscape and nature based making him an ideal tutor to those who are looking to bring out the best in their landscape images and are seeking that extra ‘kick’ to turn good pictures into great ones.
