Our photography training is for both beginner and seasoned professional alike. You might not even live in the UK, so instead, we can train via Skype or Facetime.
We train both groups and as one-2-one sessions. You can come to us for training (we are based in Manchester, UK) but we can also travel to you no matter where you are in the world. Get in touch using the contact page and we can talk through where you want to be with your photography and how we can help get you there.

Times and locations change depending on what we’re training on. For example, it’s not as easy to learn wireless flash at 1pm on a summer’s day so in this instance, we would change the times to suit conditions.
