We’ll spend the majority of the class outside shooting together, utilising our new skills and putting compositional ideas into practice together.
This course takes place at the Burford Bridge Hotel, At the Foot of Box Hill, Dorking RH5 6BX.
The course material is presented in both a written and visual form, I will show you photographs to help you understand the techniques and also show you how to do it directly on your own camera.
A digital camera, preferably a camera with manual settings is preferred. Classes are limited to make sure everyone has a good understanding of their own camera at the end of the session.
These courses are part classroom-based tutorials, practical demonstrations and hands on practice. You will be taken outside into the Surrey hills and on return will review the images.
Tea and coffee is included, along with a course booklet for you to keep and review.
I am always happy to field questions afterwards via email, and please feel free to share your new images as well.
Courses run throughout the year and there will always be a seasonal course too!
As the majority of us are at home for the foreseeable future, every Friday from 5-6pm I will host an inspiring photography webinar for all photographers to join!
Cameras mandatory, drinks optional!
Each week will have a specific photographic theme & we will look at a particular professional photographer’s work that fits in with the photographic theme. We will discuss how the images can inspire us to take photographs at home in keeping with the theme. I will keep in mind that everyone will be creating images indoors and out, making fun assignments for everyone to complete throughout the week. Images will be reviewed in the following Friday’s Photography Happy Hour webinar.
Join us! Each webinar is £20, which includes a task sheet of photo “homework” that you can submit for feedback the following week. All webinars hosted through ZOOM, and students will be sent a link upon booking.
