About

Digital Detox is a full day workshop that will give you a grounding in analogue photography. In times when we are bombarded with technology, it’s good to take some time out and try something different.

Who is it for?

The workshop is aimed at anyone, particularly beginners, looking to take a break from the digital and try something different.
