If you are thinking of getting more serious about your photography you may want to explore the intricate world of studio photography.

Having full control over your lighting is not as easy as it seems and often many hours of practice are necessary to master the studio environment. This course helps you make informed decisions when buying lights and accessories, and teaches you how to set them up and use them in a variety of different situations. You are shown how to position, control and modify the lights and how to compose that winning commercial, still life, portrait or fashion shot.

Please note that you do not need to have any studio equipment to do the course.

This course is presented on one evening or morning a week over 5 consecutive weeks and you are required to complete practical assignments throughout the course, using your own studio equipment, natural light or home made light sources. The last lesson is a fun, practical workshop where you get to photograph your own set up in the studio under the supervision of your lecturers.
