Welcome to Peak Images

 

Photography Tuition and Workshops –for beginners and more advanced enthusiasts. Have you considered our Derbyshire Days Out? They’re now running and we’re now taking bookings for Spanish Photography Holidays for spring and autumn this year.

Derbyshire Days Out are ideal for any photographer who is keen on outdoors photography,especially landscape photography,or even the walker who only takes photographs occasionally,but who would like to learn more about how to get the most out of their camera. Many of our clients come to us after their partner purchases them a day of photography as a present,and no,an SLR camera is not essential. Although you won’t be able to do certain things without one (such as easily blur out the background),composition and “seeing the image”can be taught whatever the camera,and compacts can be surprisingly good for macro photography!

Spanish Photo Holidays are a great way to learn more about photography in a relaxed and warm environment where the climate is more reliable than the UK. Just a short-haul flight by budget airline away,the sunsets are awesome,and the tapas very enjoyable! 

Guidebook and Photography Writing –Chiz’s new cycling guidebook to the Peak District is out and on the shelves! Published by Cicerone,this has lots of really great routes,and covers the whole of the Peak District including the less well known north-western section.  Mostly day trips of 8-40 miles (15-60km) long the finale is a multi-day trip with a twist.

And as if one book wasn’t enough,Chiz’s second book is also out –Outdoor Photography Edition 2 –also published by Cicerone. This is a collaboration with the original author Jon Sparks,and completely rewrites the original from the ground up.  (And we’re both rather pleased with the end result!)

Licencing images and commissions accepted - Chiz’s images are,as usual,available to licence. She also offers many of them as fine art prints and Peak District and Derbyshire greetings cards. (Spanish,Antarctic etc images are also available as greetings cards,but the Peak District ones tend to be the best sellers.) She’s also very happy to accept commissions.
