Beginners Photography - The Perfect Start. Learn Photography Basics

Suppose you are new to photography and a DSLR or want to improve your understanding. In that case, the Get off Auto class or five-week Beginners Photography Course will teach you digital photography basics and give you the perfect foundations. Most clients follow on from this to do the photo editing with Lightroom course (book both courses and get money off - beginners camera courses )to learn how to edit images with a professional look. You can also combine classroom theory with practical tuition on location with a photography workshop.

Intermediates Photography - The Next Level. Learn Photography Basics and Next Level

If you know the basics of camera settings, composition and editing, there is an excellent range of courses and classes to improve and refine your skills. You could take that next step in photo editing to learn how to add polish and emotion/balance to your existing images. Or consider going for a photographic qualification with the RPS.

1-2-1 Private Photography Lessons - Flexible. Learn photography in the areas you need it at your own pace.

The one-to-one private photography tuition is for aspiring photographers who prefer personal tuition and wish to have their learning designed specifically to their needs. Is this for me? Private lessons are available to photographers of any skill level who feel one-to-one attention will improve their learning. The benefit is it’s based on what you want to learn and delivered at a time suited to your availability. Lessons can include camera technique, photo editing, practical location shoots or a mixture. There are no other students - the time you pay for is dedicated to your style and pace of learning. I also offer the standard courses as a block of four x 2hr sessions for the price of three.

Flexible Options - Tailored To You.

All lessons can be taken as a series of weekly evening classes during the week or booked as private 1-2-1 sessions to suit you. We also offer flexible payment plans (interest-free) to help you spread the cost of your photography tuition over twelve months, and you get a discount for booking multiple events.

Structured Content - Theory & Practical.

All photography lessons are structured and supported by class notes with a mix of theoretical explanations and practical exercises for you to learn from and assess your work by a professional photographer.
