Stunning images can make your story stand out. Few know that better than Ben Birchall, photographer for the news agency PA Media since 2008. Bristol-based, his work capturing the biggest breaking stories has taken him across the globe. It also means he’s got a lot of knowledge to share.

Whether you’re a keen press photographer wondering how to make the images in your publication even more eye-catching, an amateur snapper wanting some top tips for improvement, or a reporter out to quickly capture a moment to compliment your words, Ben will help you snap our mock police press conference, and then give you hands-on tips on editing and selecting the right shots.

This workshop will require you to bring a camera or a smartphone, as well as a laptop for editing.
