Philip Odell

Started his photographic journey back in the 1970’s and has been taking photos ever since. Having attended many residential workshops ranging from studio portraiture, food and products at the London School of Photography, landscape and wildlife, Philip’s main interest these days lies in landscape, wildlife and people. He particularly loves using black and white photography to explore abstract shapes and shadows.

As a freelance trainer and consultant, Philip spent many years conducting training courses and workshops using Adobe’s Creative Suite products including Photoshop and Lightroom. As a Flavours tutor his desire is for people to return home with a new, or renewed sense of achievement and confidence, and to also appreciate what can be achieved when you are out and about with only an iPhone or similar device to hand.

He also wants to help people to make better photographs by understanding simple compositional techniques. As Ansel Adams said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it”.
