Photography for the beginner to the intermediate photographer.
The aim, depending on the students knowledge of photography, is to enhance their knowledge and skills to a level that they are happy enough to venture on the the world of imagery on their own. I can give you, the student some advice from my previous experience in the field and from my previous education (Masters Degree), on equipment, tips and tricks to what is in my opinion best suited to your needs and budget.
Extra information
Online work (such as zoom) you need a pen/pencil and paper for taking notes, on location classes you will most likely need a camera at the very least, of course this depends on the type of photography you wish to cover.Location
