We help you learn about practical photography and how to get the best from your camera. We help you create exciting images within the beautiful Cotswolds. Tuition may be available at short notice…just give us a call to check if we are free. We love getting out and about with our cameras, taking photographs, developing them on the computer and creating wonderful images. We want to help you realise the potential of your camera and feel confident using all the many features that your camera has to offer.

If you have a compact or bridge camera and you are thinking of getting a DSLR or Mirrorless, we can also give you the opportunity to use one, to see what a difference it can make to your photography and to help you in your decision making process. We have both an entry level Canon and an entry level Nikon for this very purpose. We also have different lenses you can try. We also have a Nikon Z50, an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera which you might like to try if you are considering a move to mirrorless technology.
There’s two of us and we usually have a maximum of two people on a course so you very often get one to one tuition. If we do ask you to share the day with someone else then we will try to make sure you want similar things out of the session. We offer half day sessions. We can shape each session around you, your camera and what you want to learn. It’s a chance to visit some beautiful places while feeling you are developing your photography. It’s always worth giving us a call and discussing your personal requirements. Always priding ourselves on being flexible, if you prefer we can combine virtual training and face-to-face training to help you with your photography.
An example of a half day session:
10.00
Arrive at studio in Bourton… Tips for the day’s photography, plus all important camera settings. Plenty of coffee/tea and biscuits
12.00
Head out for photography session
13.00 – 14.00
Reviewing and editing images. Reflect on key learning.
The half day session is typically £99 and runs from 10am to 2pm or 1.00pm to 5.00pm. It does not include lunch and has only one field trip (in Bourton on the Water) but working with the editing software is included. We have a special offer where, if you book a second separate half day at the same time as the first, it’s £158. We have found that two separate sessions with some practising in between (we will give you practise tasks) is a really good way to learn, reinforce and retain the information.
