Tuition Courses

TUITION

Jon is passionate about photography and has always wanted to teach others how to bring their pictures to life. To do this he offers one to one and small group photography tuition, either in the comfort of a client’s home or at an agreed venue.

His courses, which have been running for the last ten years, help attendees get the most from their cameras. Whether participants have an advanced compact digital or a digital SLR, by the end of the course Jon will have made sure they are using their cameras to their full potential.

All aspects of digital photography are covered and the aim is simply to provide all the basic skills needed to take and print better pictures. At the end of the sessions participants will have a selection of prints good enough to hang on the wall for all to see and enjoy.

Jon guides course goers through all the photography jargon using comprehensive, easy to understand, course notes he has written himself.

All aspects of digital photography are covered, right through from switching the camera on to printing the finished image.

The inspirational and informative workshop combines both practical and theoretical tuition. The theoretical side is taught with both manual and camera in hand. The practical side involves outdoor-based photography of a chosen subject.

An Introduction to Adobe Lightroom

An Introduction to Adobe Lightroom 

This specialist follow on course is aimed at photographers shooting RAW. Shooting RAW is the best way to preserve all the information captured by the camera’s sensor as JPEG compression discards vital image data, which is then lost forever.

The course which is written in the same easy to understand language as the one to one course, guides participants through a logical step by step workflow from import, through the development module, to export of the finished images.
