Melvin’s Four Week Photography Tour of the UK Summer 2017

Melvin’s Four Week

Photography Tour of the UK Summer 2017

STARTS SATURDAY 15th JULY 2017

HELLO and welcome to my latest BLOG and to say that I am so excited that I could crush a grape (those of you under the age of 40 will not know what I am referring to). I have decided to maximise my enjoyment of the summer by HITTING THE ROAD for nearly four weeks. Yes I shall be travelling over 1,700 miles on my mammoth Photography Tour of the UK.

The idea is simple.

I will be running eight, one day workshops during my twenty days away with the remaining sixteen days spent visiting and photographing some brand new locations as well as meeting some of my followers and fellow photographers on those days. Read below for full details and enjoy the video above which explains what I will be doing.

So there you go, twenty four days of photography, driving, eating, sleeping, editing, shooting videos for YouTube, filming Facebook LIVE videos, posting on social media, meeting people, running workshops and generally having an amazing time with some challenging moments thrown in for good measure. I CANNOT WAIT.

I will be posting regular updates and images on my Facebook photography page and emailing those on my mailing list (SIGN UP TO MY MAILING LIST HERE). I hope you can all join me on this fantastic journey.

Best wishes Melvin
