Course description

This one day photography course is aimed at complete beginners who own a Digital camera, DSLR or Mirrorless and want to maximise its potential.

The course is set in a classroom environment and participants are taught theory which is supported by creative practical exercises inside the classroom and also outdoors around the local area.

Each participant on the digital photography course will learn how to fully operate their digital camera as well as understand the fundamentals of photography, such as how to make correct exposures and understand the relationship between Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO.

You will also learn the creative effects that can be achieved with a camera, for example creating a shallow Depth of Field to blur the background as commonly seen in portraiture as well as making sure the entire image is in focus which is very important in landscape and architectural photography for example. You will also learn how to freeze and blur motion using shutter speed creatively.

Participants will be provided with a course handout but are encouraged to take notes during the class.

For further information or to book over the phone, please call us at the office on 020 7729 1936.

    ‘Really great course which teaches you everything you need to know about your DSLR camera and how to get the most out of it. I went there because I use photography for work, but after the course, I really wanted to take up photography as a hobby, it was just so inspiring!’

Our tutor was fabulous- enthusiastic, patient, explained everything really well and made the day fun. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to move up a gear in using your camera and being more creative behind the lens.’
