April’s One to One pro masterclass will strike a chord with any readers who enjoy rising early to capture landscapes as the day breaks. Outdoor photographer Lloyd Evans takes us to Cheddar Gorge in Somerset to do just that, and also reveals how he adds a cinematic look to his images.

Lloyd is a master of using natural light, but for anyone in occasional need of the artificial variety, then Camera College is on standby with an eight-page class on getting started in flash photography. 

Follow the tutorials then enter your best shot in the photo challenge… one lucky reader will win a copy of leading image editing software Affinity Photo worth £49/$50.
