If you can't make this one please join my Facebook group HERE to be the first to know when the next course places are available to book and get priority access to the spaces! If you don't have Facebook then you can join my mailing list HERE instead. I share the course details in both the Facebook group and the mailing list however as I am a business often emails go to the Junk/spam folder so joining both is best to make sure you don't miss out.
All attendees will need to bring their own camera and equipment for the day and the minimum required is a DSLR, mirrorless camera or bridge camera which has the facility to run in manual (usually there will be a turning wheel on the top and will have the letter M), any make any model, and one lens if using DSLR or mirrorless. If you're buying your first DSLR camera then my friend Nina Mace has an excellent blog with some camera recommendations which can be found HERE. I also recommend, if you have the money to invest, buying a 50mm prime lens, this will give you very pleasing results and high quality images yet only costs around £100 to buy new.

I also offer one to one and two to one courses on weekdays at my studio.
These course are slightly shorter and run for 2-3 hours depending on experience level.
Prices are £149 for one to one and £129 each for two to one. Booking is available via telephone on 07936 146121.
The full fee is due at the time of booking a 1-2-1 or 2-2-1 course.
Cancellations: The booking fee (£49.50) secures your place on the course until full payment is due 4 weeks before the course date unless you have chosen to pay the full fee upfront. The place is then only yours when you have made full payment. The booking fee (£49.50) is non refundable. If you wish to cancel your place and there is more than four weeks until the course date, the booking fee (£49.50) will be retained and no further payment will be due from you. If you paid the full fee upfront then you will receive a refund of £49.50 as long as there is more than four weeks to go be fore the course date. If you wish to cancel your place with less than four weeks until the course date then the full fee is due. In the very unlikely event that the course needs to be cancelled by me for any reason, you will be notified by email. You will then be offered an alternative date OR a full refund of all fees paid.
