Here are the dates of the next digital photography training courses we have planned in the Derbyshire Peak District and around Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the East Midlands in the next few months. They are one day group courses or bespoke one to one training experiences, led by a professional photographer with over 40 years’ experience. He also has extensive local knowledge of the areas where the courses are being held.
Our courses have over a hundred 5 star ratings on Google. You can read what our clients have said about our courses 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 held outdoors in Peak District locations chosen to be looking at their best at the particular time of year. These courses are designed for people who already know how to use their cameras in other than the “auto” or “scene” modes, and who want help to develop their skills while immersing 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. As they are limited to just 4 photographers, everyone gets plenty of individual attention.
