If you have a great camera, but you're not confident that you feel you know how to use it to the best of its ability, then this programme can help you learn great photography techniques through fun and practical sessions. 

Why do I love this programme?

I set up this programme back in 2017  because I wanted to offer a more genuine learning experience for my students - one that enabled people to develop their skills rather than just filling their heads with lots of technical information. 

Spending 6 months with people watching their skills and confidence grow is so rewarding and I am so proud of what previous students have achieved.

Having a growing community of people who love their cameras and photography means this programme isn't the end!

Why do the students love this programme?

“Relaxing, informative

and fun!

Sarah is a great teacher who has the ability to make even the most complicated parts of photography seem easy to understand.”

Suzie P: 2018

"Thank you for the course. It fully met my expectations and indeed exceeded them in some areas giving me the confidence 

I had been lacking in my own creativity."

Peter H: 2018
