“ Hi and thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I'm Mark Gilligan, an award winning landscape photographer and a professional landscape photography teacher. An official ambassador for Lee Filters as a Master Of Photography, I am also delighted to be supported in my work by the outdoor brands of Berghaus, Benro, Shimoda Bags, Pacer Poles and BenQ.
I have resided and worked in both the Lake District and Eryri (Snowdonia) during the past 45 years, so I know the landscapes intimately. Whilst my home is now in Cheshire, it puts me in a perfect position to visit and work in them both most weeks.
I have been teaching and running landscape photography workshops and courses in the Lake District and Eryri (Snowdonia) for over 40 years now. I began in days when I had hair!
They are all bespoke and fully endorsed by LEE FILTERS.
The majority I deliver are '1-2-1‘ and with that you know I am exclusively working with you throughout your time with me. I am lucky in having an assistant, Vicki Procter who is an excellent photographer in her own right and she will usually join us.
Prior to our actual meeting, we will discuss and assess on line, what is best for your needs. On the days of your workshop or course, we will visit locations that are tailored to suit you whether that be in the Lake District or Eryri (Snowdonia).
We spend the minimum time getting to locations and we don’t take you to a location for a set duration and leave you on your own whilst we take our own images. Vicki and I run workshops where the instruction, your instruction, is the key factor for you being on the workshop. You will also notice that my camera rarely, if ever comes out of its bag. That is because it is YOUR time and your camera that you will be taught upon.”
Recent News & Events
“Before I delve into the review, I would like to point out that there are a huge variety of tripods brought onto my workshops and I have to say that a significant number of them are not ‘fit for purpose.’I mean significant.”
“Whilst the choice of camera is primary, the bag and tripod are items that we pour over with as much consideration.”
"When ‘we’ decide to take the plunge and move into photography, ‘we’ take time and deliberation buying our camera gear. It’s an integral part of the experience which can be enjoyable/frustrating and in some cases, wallet draining at the same time! "
“I was contacted by Outdoor Photography Magazine a few months back and they asked that I write for their ‘LIE OF THE LAND’ feature.”
“As the Photography Show was on, I thought it a good idea to call in on my way down. It was the last day of the show and I wanted to see what was happening there.”
“The talks season is now in full swing and I will be touring up and down the country till this run ends in May. I thoroughly enjoy visiting the photography clubs and it is always a pleasure to meet like minded people. Long may it continue!”
