Canon Shoot Day

with The Curries, Tatiana Huber & Daniel Knight Harris

Not a workshop. Not a styled shoot. Something far more intentional.

Three hours working alongside some of the most respected photographers in the industry
Built on years of experience, large-scale shoots, and a body of imagery that speaks for itself.

22 MARCH 2027

Proudly Sponsored by

Welcome to the Day Zero of Elevate.
The opening moment of the Elevate week, designed to offer rare, meaningful access rather than spectacle. A limited number of places are available across two sessions, morning or afternoon.

Overview

This sits between learning and doing. You are not being taught step by step. And you are not left to figure it out alone. You are inside the process.

  • Seeing how experienced photographers think
  • How they direct
  • How they communicate
  • How they adapt

Following the success of the first Shoot Day and the imagery that came from it We’re bringing it back. As a permanent part of Elevate. A standalone experience built to open the week properly

What This Is

A collaborative shooting experience built around access. You work alongside photographers operating at a high level

Each photographer builds their own shoot. From concept through to execution
Their models, their styling, their direction, their aesthetic. Every detail shaped by their own identity, from jewellery to clothing. From casting to environment.

You are stepping into their world. Seeing how they approach it. How they shape it.
How they bring it together. Then creating your own imagery within that space, with the ability to ask questions and understand decisions as they happen.

Canon Involvement

This shoot day is proudly supported by Canon, and this is a genuinely rare part of the experience.

Full access to cameras and lenses throughout the session
You can borrow equipment on the day.
Test new system.
Try different lenses.
Or shoot entirely on Canon if you choose.
This is an opportunity to step into different setups.
And push your photography in a way you might not normally.
You do not need to be a Canon shooter.

This level of access doesn’t really exist elsewhere in the UK right now.

Creative Leadership

Faye Wilde

Faye is one of the leading educators in this space, known for designing and running workshops and styled shoots across Europe. With a strong track record of building environments where photographers can learn, create, and develop their work properly.

She leads the structure and flow of the Shoot Day, working closely with each photographer to shape the experience, ensuring every space is considered, that every setup works and every attendee gets real value from the time in the room.
Following the success of the first Canon Shoot Day, she returns to lead it again

The Curries

Storytelling rooted in honesty, connection, and a modern perspective on weddings.

Tatiana Huber

Operating at the highest level of luxury weddings with a distinct creative direction.

Daniel Knight Harris

Renowned for his analogue work and cinematic approach shaped by global brand experience.

How It Works

Each session is intentionally small, allowing space for conversation, observation, questions, and genuine engagement. Both morning and afternoon attendees are welcome to stay during the lunch period.

The Format

You arrive, connect, and settle into the room.
A mix of photographers, all there to shoot and push their imagery.
From there, you move into smaller groups.
Each group with a photographer. Each in their own space.

You watch how they build and direct. Then step in and shoot yourself

After the session, everyone comes back together. All three photographers. One room. An open Q&A.

Then it resets and runs again in the afternoon.

The Outcome

The goal is for you to leave with strong imagery and a clearer understanding of:

  • How to direct
  • How to build a scene
  • How to work with people in real time

This is about improving how you shoot.

Shoot To Print

Capture your imagery.
Select your frames.
Print them on the day.
