A relaxed day of photography and creativity, in beautiful surroundings with plenty of time for 1:1 tuition, with our amazing Founder & Head Instructor Emma Holt BA(Hons).

Area’s Emma may Include are; How using leading lines within your composition can change the whole way your subject matter is seen. The rule of thirds and creating a balance in your frame. the use of contrast, texture and pattern to add interest to your photography. correctly exposing your subject matter, through Aperture control, shutter speed and ISO. Thinking about your perspective and angle, to achieve a completely different finished image.
