Fourth Annual London Summer Photography Group Workshop

Limited Spaces! July 5th to 11th, 2026. Passionate Photographer Masterclass with Steve Simon & Edmond Terakopian

Very much looking forward to welcoming you to London next month, for our fourth group workshop on street and travel photography. If you’re interesting in honing your skills in spontaneous street moments, street portraits, the play of light, interesting buildings or objects, as you are immersed in a week of photography, then this is the place to be!

We still have a few spaces left, so for more information and to book your spot, please visit: Passionate Photographer Masterclass LONDON

As on previous years, we’re most thankful for FUJIFILM UK’s continued support by providing us a classroom facility at the FUJIFILM House of Photography in Covent Garden. During these two hour daily sessions we share the group and tutors’ work and have constructive conversations about the imagery. It’s always an extremely positive and hugely beneficial part of our workshops.

What To Expect?!

The easiest way is to share an album of my work from the past few years of our workshop. You may recognise a few, as they went on to win awards. We always have a very hands on way of hosting our workshops, so we will travel together to various locations hand picked by me. You’re then welcome to shadow either of us, or to wonder freely, making pictures. Here’s a link to my Flickr Album of Workshop Images.

Regardless of your level of experience (we always have a small group so a varying level of experience is easily catered for), which camera format or system you use, hope to see you in London! Just pack comfortable footwear, spare batteries and memory cards!

Astonishingly, four of the nine photographs were made using the new Fujifilm GFX100RF which I had on loan to review (you can read my review on this blog).

“The International Awards Associate (IAA) is pleased to announce the exceptional winners of the 2025 Global Photography Awards. This year, under the theme “Framing the World,” the competition recognizes photographers from across the globe to capture unique interpretations of this ever-evolving world.”

“Photography has the power to bridge continents, cultures, and perspectives. This year’s submissions reveal how photographers transform everyday moments into universal stories. Photographers have shown us that perspective is limitless, capturing landscapes, moments, and emotions that invite reflection while inspiring imagination,” said Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA.

The awarded work is a mixture of magazine assignments, personal work as well as photographs made during this summer’s Passionate Photographer London Street Photography Masterclass.
