Intensive Beginners Photography Course London — Learn to Use Your Camera

— June 2025

Learning to take great photos is one of the most rewarding creative skills you can master — and nothing beats the hands-on experience of learning with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Last week, Aga led a fantastic Intensive Beginners Photography Course in our London studio, helping a new group of photography enthusiasts gain confidence with their cameras.

On this one-day photography course, beginners learn how to get off Auto mode and take full creative controlmastering aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focus, and composition. It’s a practical, inspiring day, packed with tips, guided exercises, and personal feedback. Whether you’ve just bought your first camera or want to refresh your skills after a long break, this is the perfect place to start.

I wanted to get off Auto mode and understand more about settings and what my camera can do. Today has been fantastic — I’ve learned so much! Thank you very much, and see you on the next course!

My husband has a new camera, and now that we’re retired, we’ll be going on lots of holidays! This was a great introduction to all the different concepts and settings — and I loved learning how to use my own camera properly.
