Past attendees have gone on to use their Intentions Panel towards a photographic distinction with the RPS.

How you will learn

You will work collaboratively in a small group of fellow participants and Alan to design your project and intention for a body of work that results in a panel of images that are themed and created in the same style. Your eye, technique, composition and editing will all improve and develop as a result of working on a single idea over six months.

You will receive input, feedback and suggestions at each class on your project and individual images.

Alan will also demonstrate re-editing techniques and ideas for possible enhancement.

Alan is passionate about photography and a qualified photography tutor. He has exhibited in numerous exhibitions, locally, nationally and internationally and has also been awarded in numerous prestigious national and international photography competitions.
