I’m excited to announce I am offering a new workshop at the studio!

Ive been offering ‘intro to photography’ courses for over 10 years now and run several workshops at various stages. I keep meeting people who are really keen to take their photography to the next level from the basics. I have also met many adults looking for a complete career shift who are looking to step their photography from hobby to income source and really curious and keen for work experience style observation and learning opportunities.
