The ultimate learning experience
One year to transform your photography forever
with our incredibly popular Masterclass program
The Workshop
Students on the Photography Masterclass will immerse themselves in photography for a whole year, working as part of the larger group but also in smaller groups of 2 or 3, supporting and assisting each other.
This is a ten-module photography course with photo-assignments between sessions and students can choose to work on their assignments entirely on their own - or by teaming up with others in their group.
Each session lasts three hours and will include time to examine assignment images and take part in practicals (where appropriate).
Although it runs over the course of a year, the class closes during August and December.
Sessions on this Masterclass run on Sundays from 10 am - 1 pm
A Practical Course
One of the advantages of learning from a working professional is that, unlike most college courses which tend to be rather esoteric and arty, this will be practical - designed for the photographer who wants the skills to succeed in the real world
Learning in a Group
Groups can be wonderfully encouraging and self-supporting. You are all growing together, learning at the same time. It's not unusual for long-lasting friendships to develop and for many in the group it often leads to students developing a genuine passion for photography, going on to take other classes or training - to further improve their photographic skills.
The Masterclass Year
The Masterclass will take you through a year of foundation-building photography essentials. We firmly believe that in order to truly succeed at photography you have to have a strong understanding of your camera’s operation, an intuitive grasp of light and how to to deal with it and then, and only then, do we look at the creative element and composition.
We call this our 3 C’s
Camera, Control & Create
Your journey to master these 3C’s will also include modules on photographing people, working with flash, photographing landscape, macro and two modules on editing, with Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop.
Masterclass is unashamedly the most exciting workshop we've ever run, jam-packed with content in a learning environment that will relax and inspire.
There is nothing else like it
Masterclass students have shown themselves to be an incredibly sociable bunch…
Not only do they regularly interact with each other on their own Facebook group (posting photos, asking for advice, etc), but they often meet up amongst themselves, going out for photowalks or sharing the cost on studio hire.

What does Masterclass cost?
Masterclass enrolment fee
Masterclass is for anyone who wants to get serious about learning photography.
With a serious course comes a serious price. Masterclass costs £1500 for the year, which for many people is a great deal of money (Whoever said photography was cheap?) We can certainly spend more than that on cameras and lenses.
Spreading the cost
To make it more affordable, payments can be spread over ten months completely interest-free. There will be no fees, no charges or any other additional costs added to the original annual fee.
You pay a £500 non-returnable booking deposit to secure your place on the course and the balance of £1000 is paid over a ten month period (at just £100/month)* by direct debit.
Alternatively, if you prefer to pay all in one go, we can accept that too.
Want to know more?
Because Masterclass is serious, we don’t take bookings for it without a conversation first.
Whether by phone, or in person, we believe it is a good idea to get to know each other, to discuss the course in more detail and to assess the level of commitment needed to participate.
We can also use this as an opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
