The Ultimate Creative Convergence. This is our most immersive and comprehensive offering – a two-day residency in Scarborough with the entire York Place team. Designed for those who refuse to be boxed into a single medium, this mentorship bridges the gap between the still and the moving image, providing a 360-degree audit of your artistic identity.

Three Mentors. Two Days. One Vision. By combining the instinctive documentary photography of Liam and Dominique with the cinematic storytelling of Matt Thompson, we provide a “stereo” perspective on your craft. Whether you are a filmmaker looking to adopt a photographer’s eye for composition, or a photographer stepping into the world of motion, we help you find the narrative threads that connect both disciplines.

A Holistic Brand Audit This isn’t just a critique; it’s a structural deconstruction. Over two days, we interrogate:

• Visual Synergy: How to maintain a consistent “voice” across both photography and film.

• The Documentary Core: Mastering unposed shooting, layering, and psychological presence in any medium.

• The Edit & The Frame: Comparing the timing of a shutter click with the rhythm of a cinematic sequence.

• Market Authority: Aligning your dual-service brand, website, and messaging to attract high-end, discerning clients.

Defining Your Future This residency is an “open book” into our 20-year journey. You will leave with more than just technical tips; you will leave with a unified creative philosophy and the confidence to lead the industry as a multi-disciplinary documentary artist.
