Overview

This workshop gives you the opportunity to learn photography while exploring some of London's most iconic sights with like-minded people.

Itinerary

Learn how to capture the photos in your mind's eye! During the workshop you learn the fundamentals of photography through ‘in the field’ tutorials, allowing you to practise and experiment with newly learned techniques while photographing some of London’s most iconic locations.

At the same time as learning the technical side of photography, we will talk a lot about the thought process of creating (not just taking) photos. This will ensure you improve your photographic eye and develop a proactive photography mindset, ensuring you can apply your new found skills to any given situation when photographing in the future.

You will learn the basics of ISO, aperture, shutter speeds, shooting modes and focusing while capturing eye-catching images of London's iconic sights such as the London Eye, Waterloo Graffiti tunnels and South Bank skate park. Once you are comfortable with this, we will start to experiment with slow shutter speeds, and discuss photographic story-telling and compositional ideas. The day unfortunately has to come to an end, with a sunset and blue hour/night shoot over-looking the Thames ensuring you return home with a variety of images to be proud of.

    I can highly recommend this course! My 14 year old son and I undertook this course and we both felt that we had learned so much; from mastering basic technical skills, learning more about our cameras, and how to compose photographs. It is wonderful way to get to know the Waterloo and South Bank area, and is a truly enjoyable experience. Matt is a patient and talented teacher, and we would love to do more of his courses in the future. Many thanks!

    We were a group of retirees wanting to learn how to use our phone cameras more effectively. Matt was brilliant. He ensured we all got involved and managed our different skill levels so well. We had fun, we learnt a lot and are now much more confident. Thank you.

    My daughter and I had the most amazing afternoon in London with Matthew. We learnt so much and now understand our cameras! Matthew has a very gentle teaching style and we both came away excited to push our selves further and with a note book full of tips and advice on settings for our upcoming trip to see the northern lights. We would 100% recommend Matthew to anyone looking to learn more about photography and will be booking another session with Matthew once we’ve had a chance to practice what we have learnt today.

    I was bought this course as a gift, after buying a new camera and being a total beginner, with little understanding of how to really use the cameras functions. The course was a really fantastic day learning more about my camera, its functions and tips to take great photos. Matthew was excellent throughout the session and provided plenty of useful advice and showed techniques to great photos. A great instructor and a really great workshop. The route was really well considered and provided for a range of scenarios that challenged us to think and put to use the skills and technique we'd learnt throughout the day. Matthew was really friendly and approachable and facilitated a really great day. Would recommend to anyone looking to learn more about their camera.

    I did the Shutter Speed Photography Course at Tower Bridge and St. Pauls. I learnt so much more in just a couple of hours with Matthew than months of learning myself online! It was a really fun experience and I would recommend to anyone learning photography. I came away with really great photos and tips to use going forwards.
