• Eye for the Light - April 2019

  Are your images as good as they could be? Or is that "WOW factor" missing? There's nothing more exciting in photography than making a great image. But to do this requires harnessing the important technical skills and the key elements of composition which make an image strong. This two-day Eye for the Light photography course is designed to help you develop your own creativity, your understanding of light and improve your compositional skills, but will also help you to get to grips with the technical aspects of photography which often hold you back. Location: London. Workshop cost: £245. MORE...
