What happens?

When I started out on my photographic career, I was technically comfortable on location but knew very little about the magic of working in the studio. Working indoors with flashlight is the ultimate in creativity but it is technically challenging. However, studio photography and the ability to control and shape light is the major differentiation between amateurs and professionals.

We are currently scheduling group training sessions at our beautiful, fully appointed studio in Bath. These sessions are for a minimum of five people and a maximum of twelve.

There are three levels of training: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Each level comprises of 6 two-hour sessions.
