Private Photography Classes and Tuition PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES One to One, Small Group & Intimate Masterclasses

I currently offer a range of private photography lessons either in London or at an agreed location at your convenience.

These private photography classes have proven very useful for aspiring photographers who prefer personal tuition and the attention of one-on-one teaching. This enables the information to be tailored to your individual level of knowledge to ensure that you learn at a level and rate specific to your current ability. Naturally I am happy to cater to small groups (max 4)  if you and some colleagues want to have a joint lesson.

I can either arrange for a bespoke lesson or workshop focusing in on key photographic aspects you wish to develop or you can choose from the following popular photography subject-matter:
