Due to the adverse weather conditions forecast for Friday 14 October, we have moved Friday’s 10am Daniel Reagan Workshop to Saturday 15 October at 2pm.
Please contact the box office if you have any concerns or queries. Thank you for your understanding.

An outdoor photography workshop where the camera lens looks inward as well as out, facilitated by the award-winning UK artist, Daniel Regan.

In these two 3-hour workshops, Daniel will lead each group on an outdoor photography tour, helping you to capture images of the world as only you can see them, using your own camera or phone. Then in a guided response to the photos taken, he will share what he has learned about how art and photography help connections with self and others, and how they can help to broker a dialogue about difficult or taboo topics, such as self-injury, suicide or trauma. 

Daniel Regan is a London-based photographic artist and non-profit Director specialising in health and wellbeing. He knows first-hand how vital the arts can be on the transformational impact of mental health, for it reflects his own lived experience as well as his artistic focus. “Creativity is just as valid as clinical treatments in understanding how you are and facilitating your own self-expression”, said Daniel in a recent interview with The Guardian, “Without photography, I wouldn’t be here.” 

How to engage

This workshop requires around 30 minutes of walking and 2 hours of being outdoors throughout the experience. Participants should wear shoes and clothes suitable for walking and be prepared for the day’s weather.

Participants will need to bring a camera or phone suitable for taking their own photographs, and have the capacity to transfer photos via USB, SD card, AirDrop or another quick method to share with the facilitator during the workshop. Please consider how you can do this as part of your preparation for the workshop.

This workshop is recommended for ages 16+.
