Photography isn’t about cameras any more than being a great cook is about having the best pans; it’s about light, technique and vision.
All digital cameras from a camera-phone to our Pro-Spec DSLRs do the same thing; they open an aperture to let light in through a lens to activate a sensor that then records what it “sees”.
Our photography courses are designed to show amateur photographers how to use their equipment, whatever it is, to its full potential to make the photos we take every day of our family, special occasions and important events that little bit better.
Our scheduled courses are group events of no more than 15 delegates and each can be run on a one-to-one basis if required. Course dates below are for scheduled group courses. If you would like a one-to-one session then please contact us for availability and to discuss any possible changes to the syllabus.
