The beauty of this course is that you don't need a wide range of skills to get great results, you can be a complete beginner or someone with more photography experience. Each week we prepare you for the upcoming field trip by only discussing the camera techniques needed for that particular field trip. When we meet for the field trip the tutor will then remind you again of the special techniques required.

2 or 3 of your best shots from the field trip are emailed in for homework and these shots are gently critiqued at the start of the next class.

The course takes place over 6 Nights (1 night a week) and 5 Saturdays (1 field trip per Saturday at a time that suits the topic). At the end of the course you will have an in-depth understanding of how the creative process works and how to put it into effect in all your photos.

5 Photography Field Trips
5 Field Trips are the bedrock of this course. The Saturday after the class tutorial students will meet at a pre-defined location and will take photographs based on the instruction received in the classroom. Photos taken are critiqued at the start of the next weeks night tutorial.
