General information:
Our Training Courses are very different to any others that are advertised, because they are 100% practical Courses, designed to help people to dramatically improve their skills.

Everything you learn will be relevant to your own needs, and you'll learn how to produce creative, technically sound, dynamic pictures. All you'll then need is to practice what you've learned. And if you have any queries in the future you simply ring up and pick my brains!

Will a one day course turn you into an expert photographer?
No it won't. It's a bit like learning to drive a car - you start off 'knowing' about driving by watching other people drive, then you learn from an expert who teaches you the skills you need to pass the test. Then you spend the rest of your life improving your driving skills. Photography is a skill too, we provide the knowledge you need and you then improve your skills with practice and experience.

Who are the Courses for?
Mostly, the people who come here are keen amateur photographers who understand the basics of photography and now want to learn about studio photography and lighting in general or who want to specialise in one particular aspect of it, and some of our students are professional photographers who want to increase the range of work that they can take on.
Our corporate clients are mainly businesses who have their own in-house photography studio and who need help to raise their standards so that they can produce professional quality results for their websites or brochures.

Are our Courses suitable for beginners?
Yes. It doesn't matter how much or how little you know, I'll tailor your training to your exact needs and to your level of knowledge.

What facilities do we have?
Our studio measures over 2,200 square feet and is fitted with various backgrounds plus a roomset, which we use mainly for photographing furniture and fashion.

How long does the Course last?
1 day, normally 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Why only 1 day? Some other people offer 2 day or even 2 week courses
Because our courses are 100% individual, they are individually tailored to what YOU need to learn, not to what other people want to learn.
And because we will supply you with a free set of our full set of technical tutorials on disk (over 600 pages) we won't waste your time with background technical info that you can read through later. And, where we have one relevant to your subject, you'll also get a free copy of our video training course.
People are amazed at just how much they've learned and at the quality they can achieve - we strip away all the mystique and nonsense and teach you how it's really done. Once you understand the principles and how to approach studio photography you'll find that it's really simple and you'll get outstanding results.

Do we offer different types of training?
Yes, because every Course is tailored to the exact needs of the individual, which means that we will cover exactly what you want to learn.

Can more than 1 person attend the Course?
Yes, up to 4 people can attend on one booking, and there is no extra charge for the extra people.
If you want to bring your partner or friends with you then ideally you should all have a similar level of studio experience because your workshop will need to be tailored to suit the person who has the least experience.

Why do we only provide expensive individual training? Why not provide group courses?
Because learning in a group is a waste of time and money - you'd spend half your time being taught things you already know and the other half being taught things you don't need to know.

When will the next Course be held?
It can be arranged for any time convenient to you, subject to our work diary.

How much does it cost?
£470, except for the wedding photography course and for corporate training.
By attending one of our courses you'll be able to save far more than the cost, because you'll learn exactly what you need to learn and you'll find out exactly which items of equipment you need to buy and, equally importantly, which items you don't need!
