Coastal Impressions - Northumberland

This is your chance to join Shona Perkins for a really special creative seascape photography retreat in Northumberland.  Based in Bamburgh,  a beautiful coastal town in the heart of Northumberland, with pristine beaches, drifting sand dunes and magnificent castle views everywhere you turn. 


Experience the wild and unspoilt coastline and the soft autumn light, where we will discover hidden bays along over 30 miles of barely trodden beaches. 


Focussing primarily on ICM photography, Shona will gently coach and guide you on all the processes, techniques and considerations she applies to her own work, teaching you all there is to know about Intentional Camera Movement and creating ethereal and impactful images. 


The locations we will visit also have potential for exploring a variety of abstract techniques and you will be encouraged to experiment with longer exposures, multiple exposures and more intimate scenes using colour, shape and texture.


Shona strongly believes in the importance of building a connection and sense of place and will support this through repeat visits to beautiful locations, experiencing different conditions and tides, helping you build a strong body of work you can be proud of, whilst giving you the greatest opportunity to experience the very best of this special location, capturing it in a way completely unique to you. 


Expect a few days of creativity, inspiration, laughter, and support, all set within a relaxed, welcoming group atmosphere.

About us

Shona Perkins

Shona is a Scottish Photographer, specialising in Seascape and ICM Photography.  Heavily influenced by contemporary art and abstract minimalism, Shona has spent the past few years developing her passion for intentional camera movement (ICM photography). 


Whilst largely self-taught, Shona previously enrolled with the British Academy of Photography gaining a greater knowledge of the fundamentals and complexities of digital photography.
 

Technique is extremely important to Shona and whilst ICM photography demonstrates a certain creative freedom and experimentation, Shona applies a considered, focussed and disciplined approach to her work ensuring the best results are achieved in camera.
 

Often described as creating a sense of calm through her imagery, Shona manages to capture emotional depth, solitude, tranquillity and haunting beauty in her work, all whilst maintaining her distinctive painterly style.


Known as an inspirational leader and speaker, Shona also has a wealth of experience in coaching, mentoring and developing teams and  loves nothing more than helping people reach their full potential.


Portfolio

I have done many other workshops, but I have never experienced such thoughtful professionalism. Shona is supportive and engaged in a way that helps you discover your own creativity, techniques and connection to these beautiful places.
