Shooting at night in a city is incredibly rewarding, especially in a city as dynamic and exciting as Bristol. In this introductory course you’ll not be expected to have any prior knowledge of how to work with your camera in low -light conditions but you’ll certainly walk away with some spectacular shots. We cover street photography at night, structures and buildings, firework photography and have fun with light- trails and sparklers as well. A tripod is recommended but we can rent you one if you need it. A camera with some degree of control beyond fully auto is best and wrapping up well is also a good idea.

Stuck on auto? New camera seeming impossible? Composing the shot proving difficult? Then this is the course for you. Driving a car requires pushing one of three pedals and twiddling a steering wheel yet, quite rightly, we are required to spend tens of hours learning how to control them. Today’s cameras have many more controls to master yet most people think they can just pick them up and get the best from them without any practice (or even reading the flipping manual!). This course will have you bossing your camera around in no time and help you make the leap from being a timid full-auto shooter to a proper photographer. Easy explanations of how to use the marvellous tool that you have to the best effect in the shortest time possible. We run this course around central Bristol, mostly using marvellous Harbourside locations to provide loads of visual interest for you to practice on. Full notes and course content provided. Just bring yourself, a camera that allows for some degree of control beyond fully auto and a comfy pair of shoes. Total distance strolled isn’t at all arduous and is all wheelchair access friendly.

Street photography is an art unto itself. Satisfying beyond belief, and where some of the greatest living photographers made their names. It’s a skill you can learn and we aim to give you an introduction to the tips and tricks for the greatest “hit rate” of successful shots. Bristol centre with its lively markets and Harbourside could have been made especially for this type of photography. We give a brief history of the art, to whet your appetite, and get the creative juices flowing, over a coffee, with coverage of everything you need to know to set up camera ready to grab the best shots. We show you three or four strategies for success and also cover the essentials of remaining safe and within the law. Almost any camera is suitable for this course, even your phone. We give specific instruction to all levels of experience and you don’t have to be a technical expert to produce some truly stunning shots.

Following on from our beginners introduction course this slightly longer class allows us to go into a lot more detail about using your camera. We cover Portraiture, Street, Landscape and Desktop areas. A lot more time is going to be spent talking about the “art of a good shot” as well as a much more in-depth study of just what you can do with a camera in a large variety of circumstances. This is the course to choose if you already know a little about your camera and want to explore further or if you know nothing except how to switch it on and really want to get to grips with photography. As with all our courses the small numbers mean that we can tailor the course to your exact requirements so this can be a second course after the beginners introduction course. An option many people have chosen.

It could be that you want to learn more about your camera, or it could be that you want to know how to transition from hobbyist to making it into a source of income for you. The Beginners Photography Course Manchester is a FULL day photography course out on location where we will photograph & learn how to take better photos followed by a Q&A session where you can ask whatever you want whether it be about your camera or business! These aren’t just any workshops though. I’ve created something which is engaging, fun, hands on, and ticks a bunch of things on what you need to get started, and if you have already started, then the next steps on pushing forward. Not only will the workshops educate you on how to get to grips with your camera in different situations, but also we will go ahead and cover areas of business during these workshops, on how to really elevate to the next level and get the results you are after. These workshops will be limited in numbers so that you get the most from the sessions. We’ll start the session by looking at the basics of your camera & cover light, exposure, ISO, composition, aperture, shutter speed & so much more. We will then put into practise the things you have learnt and shoot out on location in Manchester. Location will be confirmed nearer the time. With a background in web design, business, freelancing, photo post-production editing, social media and marketing, you’ll leave with heaps of information that’s easily absorbable but also workflow strategies that work in practise to grow your freelancing / business. You will also go away with resources from the day that you can look back at to help you along. You’ll leave the beginners photography course confident in being able to photograph in manual mode & so much more! The great thing about these workshops is that the focus will be on YOU. There will be plenty of time for Q&A as well as an opportunity for one on one conversation & it’ll move along at your pace. So come join me for the day and let’s learn together

The word Ambrotype is translated in Ancient Greek as "Immortal Impression". A wet plate photographer makes a film base on a piece of glass or metal using collodion, submerges it in a silver nitrate solution to make it light sensitive, and then exposes the photograph usually in an old style wood bellows camera box. During this session your teacher, Marcin, will be using large format camera to create your very own and handcrafted portraits on black glass plate. Marcin will introduce you in short to the history of this unique process and will ask you to sit in front of my 18x24 cm camera that will take you back to the early days of photography. You will end up with 2 unique glass plates.
