Drone Photography & Video Training |

James Abbott Photography flying a DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone

Discover the secrets behind shooting amazing drone photography and video. Many drone pilots come into the industry from other professions and may not have the photography and video background required to give your drone photography the competitive edge. So, whether you’re an experienced photographer or a complete beginner aiming to improve your aerial photography and video, this is the workshop for you.

How much does a drone photography workshop cost?

There is one option available with the session split into two distinct parts so we can focus on shooting techniques in the first half, and then editing techniques in the second. Many drone photography techniques require multiple images to be taken and blended together in photo editing software, making this the most logical approach.

£299 (5 hours)

The above price is for one person. Please add £149 for each additional person up to a maximum of three (including main participant). By keeping group sizes small I will be able to spend more time with each person and the overall cost for individuals is reduced significantly.

A £50 deposit is required to place a booking.

Wanting a short course in photography and photo editing, I contacted James Abbott, who responded with the offer of an 'In Person', days workshop course in SLR camera use and a days workshop course editing using Adobe Elements. Having now completed both, they were exactly what I wanted and I could not have asked for more. James is a very professional and competent photographer as well a patient tutor, and gave the appropriate amount of time explaining each aspect until I had the confidence to carry out the tasks myself. I now look forward to using and further developing these skills, both taking photographs and editing afterwards. I would highly recommend his services and photography workshops, Dave T

He’s very patient and explains things clearly and in depth when needed. He adapted the day to my skill level and focused on my request for training in specific areas. I was very pleased with the shots taken and will book again in the future.

It was informative, inspiring and above all good fun. I would highly recommend James to anyone, whether professional or amateur who is looking to sharpen their skills in landscape photography. He has expert technical knowledge but he imparts the information with such ease and clarity. Truly an excellent experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In June 2019 I did a Lightroom CC One to One home workshop with James. Although I had been using Lightroom for a couple of years he helped me so much to develop a much better workflow and with his help I learnt how to properly use the programme. I had developed a lot of bad habits! His knowledge is incredible not just on Lightroom but on photography he has a wealth of experience from his background in the industry. His instructions were alway clear and precise. He was enormously supportive in helping me learn to what for me is a difficult subject as a photographer I would rather just take the snaps but with James' help from the workshop my photography has improved as a result of his workshop and I enjoy the processing of my images much more.I learnt valuable skills that you cannot get from a book. Booking a workshop was also very easy, his email communications were good with him setting homework before the day. We also had a conversation about what I wanted to cover and achieve during my One to One. This led to me getting so much more from his time. I recommend to anyone a workshop with James' you will not regret it!

Highly recommend James Abbott Photography, I had the pleasure of meeting up with him for the day and to see him work his photography magic. He's someone that poses a great skillset and you can see that from his imagery as well as being a very approachable person, couldn't recommend him enough for all you photographic needs.
