Covid-19 update; Photography Workshops/ 1:1 Photography Tuition.
We are happy to announce that all our Photography Workshops and 1:1 Tuition are up and running again.
We are still advising caution and will take the correct action where we need to. therefore we ask if our Students/Customers, please wear a mask if you are coming into close proximity of other individuals whilst attending one of our Photography Workshops. We may also decide not to visit a regular cafe/coffee shop during a particular Workshop, if we feel the establishment isn’t suitable at the moment for our lunch/refreshments. Therefore we may ask you to bring a packed lunch.
If we do need to re-book your lesson/ Workshop due to Covid or any other event that is out of our hands, we will reschedule the date and time as soon as we can. We may need to change this date several times….
Please note; we are able to still run your lesson. Therefore we offer no refunds. Workshop participants, may wish to use their payments towards another Photography Workshop or 1:1 Tuition.
We would like to Thank, all our customers for your patience and continued support. Please stay safe & well. Emma & Chris Holt. Founder & Director at Emotive Capture Photography School.
How many Students are on a Workshop at any one time?
We have no more than six Students at any one time. In fact many of our Workshops only have three/four places available. We pride ourselves in the quality of our Photography Workshops, that’s why we keep numbers LOW! We want you learn, we also want each Workshop to be enjoyable for everyone participating, low numbers mean the quality of teaching is better and every participant has ample chance to have some 1:1 Tuition during the Workshop.
How do I book 1:1 Photography Tuition?
Please get in contact with us, either by filling the Contact form or by text. We do like to have a chat with are Students, it helps us find out more about you, your Photography knowledge and what you would like to learn. After an initial telephone call, We will then arrange a date, location and time to meet you. Payment is made via Bank Transfer. If you wish to spread the cost please let us know. To book a £50 deposit is required and all remaining balances must be paid two weeks prior to your 1:1 Lesson.
I dont own a DSLR, can I still book 1:1 Tuition or a place on a Photography Workshop?
yes of course! Let us know what Camera you have/ kit and we can talior your 1:1 lesson for you. Obviously its fantastic if you do own a DSLR, however we appreciate the cost of owning one, especially if your new to Photography. For a small fee, We do have an entry level Nikon DSLR for hire during your 1:1 Tuition or Photography Workshop. The hire price doesn’t include a memory card. To hire our Nikon Camera, please get in touch.
What happens if the weather is really bad, will my 1:1 Tuition be cancelled?
As you are aware, the British weather can be unpredictable. Every effort is made to make sure your 1:1 Tuition goes ahead. However, due to the nature of what we do, on occasion we do have to cancel and reschedule 1:1 Tuition. We understand how frustrating this can be, but we want you to enjoy your Lesson, so it would be impossible to teach Students properly if the weather was really bad. Please note; If the weather is dull or miserable/spitting this does not mean your Tuition will be cancelled, so please wear approximate clothing, waterproofs/ warm clothing.
If your Tuition has to cancelled, we will endeavour to reschedule your Lesson as soon as we can. Any payments will not be refunded.

Participants may put payments towards a different Photography Workshop, or towards 1:1 Photography Tuition. Please note; No refunds are made.
