1-2-1 Short Photography (and Photoshop) Courses - Bristol and Somerset for beginners upwards.

A one day practical course from a professional who earns a living from his camera.

Here you will find a photography course for all levels of experience because it will be precisely tailored to you.

As a professional landscape and architectural photographer I can pass on what has taken me many years to learn. You will be shown how to produce great pictures, understand the best set-up for your camera and how to make various adjustments in Photoshop - all in one day. Plus 3 months ongoing support for anything related to your photography.

The day will be designed around you and your level of ability. So no matter how much experience you have, you will enjoy seeing a great improvement in your picture taking.

Landscape and architectural photography is the art of interpreting what you see through light, robust composition principles and the use of the prevailing weather; sounds simple but like most things, 'the devil is in the detail'.

On this site you will see sample images that you will be capable of producing after completing the course.

Elliott Hudson - Exeter - October 2009

"I think that if you study and practice the techniques Derek explains, you’ll eventually be able to mentally ask yourself all of them very quickly, almost instantaneously and get amazingly better shots. What others perceive as talent, is often just knowing the techniques, hard work and practice and the techniques on this course is a perfect way to learn both. I will try to practice one technique at a time over the course of a year and I guarantee my images will look tons better".
