‘Excellent course - I was expecting to be overloaded with terminology and functions, but what I got was a well-structured, packed day which totally demystified digital photography for me, as well as plenty of useful creative tips. Highly recommended!'
★★★★★  Piers Bearne

‘The Beginner's Course is a fantastic introductory course which manages to cover all the basics whilst breaking down the walls with all those unknown functions a DSLR camera can do.’
★★★★★  Wesley Perrett

‘I have just completed Level 1 of the Digital Photography For Beginners class with Liane Harris and came away excited to try out my new skills. In such a short space of time I feel I took in a lot of invaluable information. Liane was a great teacher, very patient, clear and friendly. I really want to try out the Level 2 class now!’
★★★★★  Beci Wood

‘Really enjoyed the Beginner DSLR course with Bill Ling. I'm a real beginner with a new camera, which I now feel much more confident about how to get the most out of. Well-paced, very practical and a lot of fun. I'm considering whether to go back for the Intermediate DSLR course in the autumn.’

Crash Course


'The Digital Photography Crash Course with Emily Stein was great. She was encouraging, knowledgeable, approachable and happy to offer extra advice when asked. The staff were lovely. I can't wait to practice what I learned - and maybe book a place on their Street Photography Course!'
★★★★  Kat Mace

'Totally loved the course, and now feel confident and equipped for adventures in photography! Very well-taught, pacy course. The time flew and I learned so much. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone and am hoping I can come back soon for more advanced courses.' ★★★★  Rachel Marsh

'Had a great experience on the Crash Course this Saturday. Our tutor Liane Harris was great. She was very helpful and patient. The course was informative and helpful taking us through various different aspects of photography. A really helpful day and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get clearer understanding of your DSLR. It has put me on the path to simple but dynamic photography with simple techniques. You certainly won't be using those AUTO settings again. Thanks for a great experience.' ★★★★  Michael Wood

‘I have just completed the Advanced DSLR photography course which I really enjoyed and found was very helpful in improving my photography skills. It had a good mix of theory and practical exercises.’
★★★★★  Nick Underwood

'Great course, short but sweet! A lot packed into 6 weeks. This course has certainly kicked started me into photography, so a massive thank you to all tutors and fellow students!' ★★★★★  Will Hatlapa

'Getting to meet 4 different tutors over the 6 weeks was brilliant and I took a lot of inspiration from all these teachers. Each session involved both a practical element along with classroom teaching. Some of this took me way out of my comfort zone which was exactly what I wanted and I've found that this course has done exactly what I hoped and opened my eyes to varied types of photography, having been totally focused on only shooting one subject matter before the course, I can now find enjoyment and picture opportunities in many situations.'

‘Thanks to Gary for a very enjoyable day.Really enjoyed the course, good to have most of the day to learn about street photography. Great to go out and put into practice things learnt in the morning and to have a review and to see how other members of the group viewed similar shots or came up with unique images.’
★★★★★  Daryl Seyforth

‘I went on a street photography course on Sunday. The instructor was insightful, friendly and obviously very knowledgeable. Got some great photos and feel more confident behind the camera. Could not rate highly enough, word of warning do the foundation course first to prepare you.’
★★★★★  Paul Russ

‘Just finished my street photography one day course with Gary Perlmutter and had a fantastic time. After a few hours in the classroom looking at styles and the masters of street photography we had a go ourselves around the streets of Shoreditch. Followed by a quick review of the shots we'd taken back in the classroom. Everything was run very smoothly and professionally and Gary was a fantastic teacher.’
★★★★  Andrew Burton

‘I've just completed another Street Photo course with PCL - excellent as always, great content, great tutors and lots of fun. Groups are always nice and small, so plenty of time for one-to-one chats with your tutor. I can recommend a street photo workshop with Gary Perlmutter.’
★★★★★ Ben Logan

'The Lightroom Course fully explained the workflow and facilities in this software making it very easy for me to transfer from using Photoshop Elements. ’
★★★★★  Adrian Garner

‘Having had very specific issues I've struggled with in Lightroom, a 2 hour stint here has revolutionised my work flow and this will prove invaluable as i put this into practice. Im now looking forward to taking several more courses after christmas. The people who work here a extremely friendly, very helpful and never make you feel like you've asked a daft question. i cant recommend these courses highly enough - something for everyone!! ’
★★★★★  Nina Grimstead

'Natalie was very knowledgeable about Adobe Lightroom and showed us the main features of the program in an approachable way.' ★★★★★  Guy Thompson

'I had done an entry level Photoshop course before and I was looking for a more advanced course that could teach me how to follow a correct workflow. The course I took at Photography Course London was exactly what I was a looking for. Although the course last only one day, it was extremely well organised and a lot of concepts were covered. Everything was explained in a very clear way and it was very easy to follow. I would highly recommend this place for the quality of the teaching and the nice environment provided.' ★★★★★  Andrés Martín López

'Being not as familiar with Photoshop as a lot of people it was still enjoyable despite not having the same knowledge as my other peers who I took the course with. Level 2 definitely lends itself to people who really are into their photography and are familiar in working with cameras. I would definitely recommend this course as there is a lot of flexibility in being able to request to learn about specific skills. The team welcoming you there are also very friendly and always willing to help you out - very hospitable.’
★★★★★  Madre Visser

‘After meaning to get to grips with Photoshop for a long time, I finally booked myself a place on the Photoshop Foundation course. Mikael was a great tutor, and both the content and delivery were fantastic - well-paced, thorough and with plenty of opportunity to try things out and to ask questions at every stage. I'll definitely be back for part 2!’
★★★★★  Cathy Pyle

'Took the Studio Lighting Course with Bill Ling the other day and it was fantastic! I'd never shot in a studio before, but I came out with a good understanding of how to control light in a studio environment. Took a few great snaps as well! Highly recommended! Being at Holborn Studios was incredible!' ★★★★★  Michael Wright

'I had a very interesting day at the Portraiture Masterclass. A very thoughtful and well put together programme - much food for thought! Many Thanks!' ★★★★★  Nina Large

‘I did the studio photography course with Bill Ling, and it was even better than I expected. Holborn studios is a beautiful and inspiring place to learn and shoot, and Bill Ling is one of the best teachers I’ve had the pleasure to learn from.’
★★★★★  Lucas Gabellini-Fava

'Great experience. I'm a total beginner but the teacher (Andrew) was patient and took the time to explain my camera to me. Really pleased with everything I learned. Would recommend.' ★★★★★  Claire Healy

Attended the dark room course with Bill Ling. Fantastic experience. Learnt a lot from it and would highly recommend. ★★★★  Stacey Burgess

‘I really enjoyed the course. It was a great way to learn about the process of developing. I think the tutor is a genius! This course for me was about understanding the developing process of black and white and for that knowledge to inform my thinking process behind the camera and enable me to take better pictures.’
★★★★  Daniel Willis

‘I attended the Introduction to the Darkroom course with Bill Ling. He was a top boy! We had a good amount of time to experiment and the session didn't get caught up in chemical jargon. Practical. Engaging. A good intro.’
★★★★★  Team Kelham

‘I really enjoyed my one to one tuition on DSLR and Photoshop. Giorgio Murru was a great teacher and we went through everything I was interested in. Laura and Alaena were so friendly and helped to make the booking of my course so easy. I am now inspired to take photography further and hope to maybe take another course in the future. Thank you PCL!'
★★★★  Laurel Tirone

'I cannot fault Photography Course London, from my first email to them through to my One To One tuition, I cannot speak highly enough of them. I've previously tried one other course in London (Covent Garden) but everything about Photography Course London was is a class apart. I can't wait to go back for the next part of my course.’
★★★★★  Nathan Barnes

‘I enjoyed my one-to-one course with Giorgio Murru. My pictures already look better after just a one-day intensive course and he went through everything I was interested in learning, and then some. He shared a lot of information on using my camera, a DSLR and some Photoshop, which I will spend time going over and practicing with to improve my pictures, my blog and my website. I plan to return when next I can to take an intermediate level course and build on what I've learned.’
★★★★★  Ikwo Ndiomu

'Such a cool environment with very polite and knowledgable people. I am extremely happy with the quality of my 3 hours one-to-one tuition. Highly recommended – the environment and the people scream quality.’
★★★★★  Angelos Nastos Megas.'
