Here are the dates of the next digital photography courses we have planned in the Derbyshire Peak District and around Sheffield and South Yorkshire in the next few months. They are all one day courses, led by an experienced professional photographer with extensive local knowledge. You can read what some of our hundreds of clients have said about our courses here on Google.
This Christmas, we have a special gift voucher for sale (in addition to our normal vouchers). Offering great value from only £99.00, and valid for the whole of 2026, these vouchers are only available until Christmas. You can see full details here.
Our beginners level courses assume no prior knowledge of photography – so they are ideal for people who have just bought their first dedicated camera – or who have only been using their camera in “auto” mode and would like to learn how to use it to its full potential.
Our intermediate level landscape photography courses are outdoors in carefully selected Peak District locations. They are designed for people who already know how to use their cameras in other than the “auto” or “scene” modes, and who want to immerse themselves in their photography for a whole day. They are the natural next step for people who have already been on a beginners’ level course.
Just click on the links below for more details about individual courses.

We also continue to offer one to one training either face to face or via video link. See here for further details.

This intermediate level landscape photography course has been timed to capture some of the Peak District‘s woodlands in springtime when they are looking their finest. We will spend the first part of the day in woods not far from Matlock photographing bluebells and other spring wild flowers, as well as the impressive ruined steam engine house of a former lead mine. After a pub lunch, we will visit another nearby location – which could be a stone circle, industrial remains in one of the disused quarries, or the famous Cork Stone. The course is limited to a maximum of only 4 photographers, and places cost £99.00 each. Places available.
More course dates for later in the year will added shortly, and if you would like to be kept informed of all the training courses we are running when they are announced, please sign up to our newsletter.
