Testimonials:
"Good teaching requires two crucial ingredients: a detailed and thorough understanding of the subject and the ability to communicate clearly, precisely and without resorting to jargon. Never are these more important than when teaching technical subjects to those who may not be technically minded. Alex has the enviable ability to cut straight through ‘technical haze’ and lift the shrouds of mystery that surrounds so much of photography and digital processing."
Nick Garbutt, Devon
"Hi Alex - just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed yesterday's excellent one-to-one tuition day. It was extremely useful and I learnt several brand new post-processing skills as well as having two very good sessions out 'in the field' shooting panoramas and multiple exposures for blending on the PC later."
Mike Cummins, Derbyshire"The day I spent out in the Peak District really opened my eyes to different ways of looking at things I could take photos of. Alex was a really great help and showed me how I could make the most of the tools that I had to work with and the landscape around us- His enthusiasm is something incredibly special and really helped make the day a brilliant experience!"
Abbie Rechert, Derbyshire
"I am an Octogenarian whose lifelong interest has been photography. The digital age of Photography has come as a distinct culture shock to me. The skills with film and darkroom that I had practised for many decades have all been superseded by the new technologies. I was struggling and needed help! My family bought me a day’s tuition with Alex Hyde. Alex proved brilliant. My cognitive skills are not what they were only a few years ago; but he was infinitely patient and was able to explain things slowly and simply in terms that I could understand. I have employed him many times since and with his help have made considerable progress. One of my pictures has been accepted for publication. I will continue to employ Alex Hyde for as long as he is prepared to teach me."

- These workshops are based around what's seasonably available, making the most of what nature has to offer. This could include searching for fungi in ancient oak woodlands or roaming the limestone dales looking for wild flowers and insects. Whatever we end up photographing, you will be able to learn my favourite techniques in nature and macro photography. This will include use of off-camera flash, a skill that is central to my work. Focus stacking is another popular topic.
- I have a studio that can be used for indoor work and computer-based elements such as assembling focus stacks.
- Workshops can be tailored to understanding particular pieces of equipment such as the Canon MP-E 65mm Macro Lens, the Laowa 24mm Macro Probe Lens or even how to mount microscope lenses on your camera.
- Courses are based in the Peak District, Derbyshire where I live. If you need accommodation, I can recommend an excellent B&B nearby.
