Our Photography courses help to get you comfortable using your camera, then our expert tutors show you how take incredible shots.
Paulina Czyz teaches students how to get the most out of their SLR cameras, and as part of her Photography Level 2 course, she sends them out to take shots for a final project. Each student is encouraged to do their work in their own individual style.
Here we have some of the work from students who took the course back in Autumn 2022.
If you have an interest in photography, we have a wide range of options that include one day workshops and six week courses, classes on SLR photography and smartphone tutorials. See our full list of courses here.
