Where there is light, there is movement,

and where there is movement, there is story.  "Gaylan Nazhad"

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

​

Set in the rolling landscapes of the Peak District, this weekend workshop blends photography, cycling, and well-being into one creative experience. Over two days, participants will explore scenic routes, historic villages, and quiet country roads discovering how movement, breath, and light come together to shape visual storytelling.

​

Led by Nazhad, this immersive workshop invites photographers to slow down and reconnect with their surroundings. Each ride becomes both a journey and a meditation, a balance between motion and observation. You’ll learn to photograph with awareness, sensitivity, and rhythm, capturing the natural harmony between people and place.

​

The workshop is designed not only to develop your photographic eye but also to nourish your body and mind. Cycling through fresh air, open spaces, and natural light enhances focus, creativity, and overall well-being.

 

 

​

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

​

Over two days, we will travel by modern electric and manual mountain bikes, making the experience accessible to all ages and fitness levels. These bikes allow everyone to comfortably enjoy the scenic terrain without concern for difficulty or endurance.

​

Our route takes us through the heart of the Peak District, combining open landscapes, forest paths, and rural villages. Participants will photograph throughout the journey capturing atmosphere, emotion, and the relationship between people and place.

NOTE

This workshop welcomes photographers of all levels and ages. With electric mountain bikes, even the steeper routes become smooth and enjoyable, ensuring that everyone can focus on the creative and visual experience rather than physical challenge.

​

The weekend blends creativity, movement, and mindfulness, a chance to breathe, explore, and photograph at your own pace. Participants will leave with a collection of images that reflect both the beauty of the Peak District and the restorative joy of cycling through it with a camera in hand.
