Many people with an interest in photography, whether
professional or as a casual hobby, may at some point wish to take a course to
improve, recap or simply enjoy the chance to learn more about this skill.
When choosing a photography course, you should look at
what you’re aiming to get out of it rather than your skill level, as a
priority.
Do you require intense study or something more casual
that you can fit around your working day? Would you prefer to enrol on a year-long
study package which results in a qualification or take a residential weekend
course?
The London School of Photography is a good choice for
anyone who has a demanding lifestyle and needs a course to suit them. Classes
can be organised in the evenings or at weekends and also in groups if you feel
like bringing company along. Courses take place at the school’s studios in Soho,
making it easily accessible for those working in and around London.
City Lit is a great centre, specifically designed for
adult learning, it lays on classes at reasonable times outside of working
hours. City Lit is located in Covent Garden and has courses which guide
individuals through a comprehensive education in photography. There are courses
for beginners and specialists, including photojournalism, exhibitions, and
documentaries. If you are considering taking a qualification at the end of your
studies then it is worth bearing City Lit in mind. The centre handles all the
examination details and has an impressive track record with results.
Residential courses are a great way to improve your photography skills
and explore new surroundings in a fun environment. There is a large variety of
residential courses in the UK, which explore some of the most stunning
locations on offer. Wilderness Scotland, which is actually a specialist
adventure travel company, provides extremely popular photography holidays in
the Scottish Highlands and the nearby islands. Not only are residential courses
the perfect opportunity to get hands on experience in breathtaking locations
but the Wilderness Scotland photography holidays also offer educational
excursions with leading landscape photographer Colin Prior.
Dawn 2 Dusk Photography also organises photography workshops in the
South West of England and the Lake District, which comprise of two and three
day excursions to places such as Dartmoor, the South Hams, North Cornwall and
Dorset.
Whatever your level or requirement for a course, the UK has an
incredible amount to offer the photography enthusiast.
