THE EVENT
A UNIQUE RETREAT FEATURING UNMISSABLE MASTERCLASSES
BY SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE PHOTOGRAPHIC INDUSTRY
SEPTEMBER 12th - 14th 2022

After the huge success of our Northern Residency’s we are thrilled to announce the inaugural Residency of the South! Not only have we brought together a selection of the very best educational and inspirational Photographic speakers and influencers in the country but we have created an event very different from its northern counterpart!
CONFIRMED SPEAKERS ARE:
Maggie Robinson, Gary Hill, Fire & Ice, Rachel Illingworth, Suzi Mitchell, Nina Mace, York Place Studios, Lisa McCormick and Maddy Rogers!

Set within a 250 acre nature reserve in the heart of the beautiful Chew Valley in Somerset, The Residency of the South will be our very own photographic oasis for two and a half completely immersive days. We keep the world-class workshops, shoot sessions and practical demos but add in a splash of glamping, yoga, toasted marshmallows, live music under the stars and so much more! A truly unique, immersive experience that will provide you with all the tools you need to both improve your photography and your business.

Just like our Northern Residency, community is at the heart of this event. Over the past four years we have been able to bring so many photographers and trainers together to share their experiences with each other and create strong friendships within the industry and we will continue this ethos of being an inclusive and welcoming event.

Tickets are only £645.00 inc VAT and include SIX masterclass sessions of your choice over the two days, guided twilight walk and welcome event on the night of the 12th, your breakfasts, lunches, evening meals (along with as much caffeine as you can consume) and the starlight party night with live music. You can also upgrade your ticket to a glamping pass for an extra £250 – all of your accommodation will be included in either a 2 berth luxury glamping tent set within our festival meadow or shared, orchard garden view rooms*

We will be releasing details of the 2022 workshops over the coming weeks as well as many exciting new features for the 2022 event! Numbers will once again be capped so ensure you have your space secured with a deposit of only £150 for ticket only or £200 for ticket and accommodation.
