the BRIGHTON photography group
I am happy to host the Brighton Photography Group. Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with me, a professional photography instructor.
Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers! I run two hour photography sessions around the City of Brighton, based on a particular style, theme or technique. These events are rammed with top tips to help you improve your photography. There is plenty of opportunity for 121 tuition to clear up any recurring issues you may have with your camera or photography. You also get to spend time with other like minded photographers, a good opportunity to swap notes on the joys of photography.
New to Photography? I also run intensive 3 hour Beginner’s Guide to photography every 2 months. [ or more if demand required!] These workshops will get you started with photography and hopefully encourage you to join further workshops and develop your photography into a fore filling creative hobby or even a possible career change!
Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. I am here to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.
What to bring? I recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!
The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking. Please follow the link below to see the schedule of events and select which you might like to join! This is agreat way to get to meet me and see if you would like to join one of my more comprehensive courses later on! >>>
The event exceeded my expectations. Tobias showed us to find motifs in an area that I would describe as boring and not worth to pay attention. Thank you

I learned a lot in those 2 hours. Toby is a great teacher 🙂 5/5 Bookie
This was the first time I’ve attended a Brighton Photography Group event and thoroughly enjoyed it. Toby made me feel very welcome, he was engaging and knowledgable. He coped well with a group of mixed ability and everyone was extremely friendly. Great value for money. I’d definitely join another event with the Brighton Photography Group and recommend them to others.

I enjoyed the event and learnt somethings about how to make my images look a little more cinematic. Also, meeting other photographers is also enjoyable. Toby is very good at getting points across 5/5 Steve
As always the event was brilliant. I picked up some great tips from Tobias as always. He is such a great teacher, very relaxed atmosphere with a fun way of explaining and learning. I am looking forward to the next course! 5/5 Dave
The architecture photography event was very useful. Toby took time to find out what knowledge everyone on the event had and during the session spent time with each person individually to give appropriate help to each person. The route that we took from the station was excellent and gave many good opportunities for taking photographs in an area of Brighton that I had previously overlooked

Thought this was a great sessions with a mix of technical tutorials and composition. Tobias was a great ‘tutor’ and I look forward to attending another workshop in the near future.
5/5 Lindsay
This course was really informative for me having never done long exposure photography before. Toby took the time to set up my camera and explain what settings I needed to use for long exposure photography. He also let me play around with the settings to get the photo I wanted but was on hand if I needed any help. Toby was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend this course. 5/5. Julian

A very enjoyable photo walk. This is the second meet with Toby and on both occasions I have found him encouraging, helpful and full of ideas on how to improve my photography. A dab hand with fujifilm camera tips too! 5/5 Judy
Very enjoyable, and informative. Tobias showed me some technical points regarding my camera as well as encouraging us to look for the abstract images. I will do more. 5/5 Kevin
