Workshops: One day course for a maximum of three people provide the opportunity to learn from one of the top photographers in yachting. From setting up your camera, to how to work efficiently and safely on the water, Rick will show you how to take great photographs from onboard his 7m RIB. Back ashore he goes through a post-production workflow and offers useful editing tips in Photoshop.

Experience days: "Ride with Rick" accompanying Rick on a working day onboard the RIB . You will get close up to the action and with tips from Rick take your own pictures. On this day out you really get the experience of what its like to be a pro-photographer. Limited to just 2 people the exact schedule will depend on the weather and the daily picture requirements. Usually we leave the dock at 0930 and back around 1600, weather dependent.

Helicopter Experience days: The ultimate experience of shooting alongside Rick at a key event. Limited to just 2 people you accompany Rick on a helicopter photography sortie at a major event, usual duration around 2 hours, plus editing and processing time back at the studio. 2 people required.

One to One tuition: Based from the Gallery, or at your own location, Rick spends a day offering his experience and advice on how to take great pictures and editing to get the most out of them, depending on the time of year there will be practical sessions either on or off the water. Call to discuss your requirements.
