Why choose McFade?

Choosing a workshop leader can be an impossible task – let us share a few reasons to pick Ade Wilson, from McFade Training.

First off, please check out the portfolio -  CLICK HERE – The proof of a photograph’s skills lie in their images, this what they will be helping you to achieve. Our advice is to base your trainer decisions on their work.

• Great locations – a decade of Dales location knowledge is on offer. All the workshops take in LOTS of locations - you will not get bored queueing up for that one shot! 
• Huge experience – Ade’s been taking landscapes in Yorkshire for years and can offer help on composition, exposure, use of filters – and help you to “see” images in the landscape
• Low stress! – We try to make the walking easy, if there is any. The meeting times are comfortable. We car-share or get a mini bus to make transport easy.
• Great Value – full day trips, great locations and one of the UK’s leading trainers for under £100….
