Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Take Control Of The Camera

Light, lenses and composition, explained so the settings make sense.

Start Shooting For Others

Portraits, products, events and property all begin with the same craft.

A Year To Practise

Twelve months of access. Learn a topic, then go out and shoot it.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Photography work is mostly freelance jobs and assisting at first. A shoot is an hour on site, then longer editing.

Studio Assistant Photographer

Set up lights, gear and backdrops.

Event Photographer

Cover a day and read the room.

Shoot clean images for online shops.

Photography Editing Assistant

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different. Most photographers build a portfolio and their own kit over time.
