creative photography courses

I am a firm believer that photography is both an incredible way to respond to the world as well as an open doorway to creativity! My ONLINE photography courses run for 10 weeks and each course explores different aspect of photography. They are aimed at semi confident camera users, photographers that want to learn the language of photography and become more creative. Engaging in photography and visual language  helps with cognitive development, problem-solving skills, and emotional intelligence. As individuals grow older, art continues to play a vital role in supporting our mental health. Creating and appreciating art have been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It allows individuals to process and express their emotions in a healthy way, while also fostering a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Photography is a wonderful way to indulge in the power of art. Learn how to see and how the camera sees and take pleasure from the all that is visual.

Take one of my photography courses across  you will get to know your camera better and understand the rich variety of possibilities that are open to you as a photographer.

FREE DIGITAL TASTER SESSIONS

NEW: I understand that many potential students might have concerns about the Online learning experience. I will confess to the occasional technical bump in the road, but by and large, students taking the plunge have found the technical side of the experience very easy to navigate. The Online experience also negates the need to travel to a venue and certainly requires less time, allowing your joy of photography to slot seamlessly into busy schedules and lives!

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! I will be running a  free online taster session each month. These will mimic what happens in a live session and hope you will join me to find out what we get up to and perhaps join me on a future course.

My next taster session will be MAY 28th 6:30 pm to 8:30pm

Below are the proposed courses for the Autumn term 2026. Please do make sure you have subscribed to receive up dates as NEW courses are added over the coming weeks. Please do use the CONTACT button in the menu to register your interest and request further details. I  look forward to hearing from you.
