WELCOME TO

...education is what happens throughout your life...

The aim of our courses is for participants to explore their creativity through
the world of the visual language. At the same time participants learn how to get the best from their
cameras and develop confidence in learning new skills, through theoretical and practical sessions,
working on location, in the studio and darkroom.
Participants either work in SMALL groups (4) or on a one-to-one basis.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Victoria's photograph

Victoria:
But for the patience, and understanding of the tutor, I would have not gained any knowledge. I hope other tutors will be like her, to encourage those who have little understanding about the digital camera & Photoshop.
