Photography workshops and courses in Kent
.jpg)
I don’t think we ever stop picking up something new, and I’ve been fortunate enough to share some of what I’ve learned over the years with photography students and amateurs of all ages.
The first resource for you is the blog or my Facebook and Instagram feeds where I posts comments and free photography tips and information about how particular pictures were taken. Please search the blog under the category “training”.
I also offer some training and tuition options for you to explore which are listed below.
1-2-1 Tuition
1-2-1 training is now increasingly popular and you can decide how long or short it can be – from short boot camp sessions to something more in depth.
There comes a point with our learning when structured courses are not what we need. 1-2-1 sessions are flexible and allow you to decide on the content, duration and location. You get to ask all of your questions, when you want to and in the order in which you need to get the answers. You can have as little or much tuition as you want, tailored to fit around your other commitments. As an example, 1.5 hours of bespoke tuition in Canterbury or Whitstable costs £95 including VAT.
Portfolio critique and business consultancy also available.
Camera Skills Workshops
My Camera Skills Workshops are called “Why drive an automatic when manual is more fun?” and cover camera controls; ISO; exposure.
You’ve a new SLR camera but it frustrates you. Or you’ve been taking pictures for a while and there are a few techniques that you wish you could nail. Why not come on a camera skills course and have a unique opportunity to ask all of those awkward questions – not just theory but hands-on practice and learning. Get the technical stuff nailed.
LOCATION: Whitstable, Canterbury, Faversham
Creative Learning – Going Deeper
After a 1-2-1 or a Camera Skills Course perhaps you can try a more in depth creative workshop – control natural and artificial lighting or experience a real studio set-up? I’d love to hear from you.
GOING DEEPER: Off-camera flash techniques; Studio Lighting; location portraits.
Hello there I have just recently bought a camera and looking for some lessons I happened to find your website and was wondering what your prices.
Thanks Dan
Hi Dan – I’ve messaged you. Thanks for getting in touch.
I have a 13 year old son who is interested in beginning to learn about photography. Is your Camera Skills Workshop suitable for teenagers? If not, could you recommend somewhere that we might find a course.
Thank you in anticipation,
Rae
Hi Rae – I’ve messaged you. Thanks for getting in touch.
Hi,
I’m looking to arrange a 1 to 1 tuition for my partner who is a very good amateur photographer. Self taught and requires the next level of training to take her skills forward.
I was waondering what sort of packages and prices you have for such a training workshop?
She’s mainly into shooting children and often landscapes out doors, she’s not really into studio shots more locations and it’s really the lighting and especially low light senarios that she struggles with.
If you could let me know if you have anything suitable and what sort of prices you charge?
Many thanks
Dave
Hi David – I’ve messaged you. Thanks for getting in touch.
Hi Tim,
I was just wondering when your next camera skills workshop was and the price?
Kind regards

Hi Daniel – I’ve messaged you. Thanks for getting in touch. Can you check we’ve got the email exactly right? Thanks!
Hi Tim
I have a Nikon D200 and a Nikon D5000 which my partner uses, we are requiring 1to1 tuition for both of us. Are you able to teach us the set up etc as we are struggling to come to terms with the user manual and the u tube sights.
Any additional suggestions would be most welcome
Kind regards
Chris
Hi Chris – I sent you a PM a while back so let me know if you still need some help!
Hi Tim – looking for 1 to 1 Off camera flash training for indoor and outdoor portraits – can you help – many thanks
Hi Dee – I sent you a PM last week so let me know if you still need some help!
Hello Tim,
I had your address from Simon Shaw in Faversham and he said that occasionally there are workshops/get together about photography for people who want to learn more about photography technique.
I am interested in attending, I am based in Faversham but can travel to Whitstable easily.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards,
Susanna
Hi its Lifestyle portraits I’m most interested in, do you offer any courses in that please? What are your prices please? Whereabouts are you based? Thanks Clair
Hi, my son is about to start photography at school and has never picked up a camera.
I was looking for some one to one tuition for him – is this something you can do? Thanks. Anita
Hi Anita and thanks for getting on touch. I dropped a reply to your Yahoo account on 13/07. When you’ve a moment please let me know which area you’re in and the date your son’s course is due to start (I’ll come back to you with some options).
All the very best
Tim.
Hello Anita – just following up on my message from last year. I hope the course is going well but if you need any additional help please do get in touch.

I am looking to purchase a gift for some one which would be an experience day for wedding photography
can you tell me if this is something you do and what would the cost be
thank you
Hi – not sure if my reply ended up in your spam folder but I PM’d you a few weeks back. All the best, Tim.
Hello. Do you have any dates for upcoming “going deeper” wedding training? Thank you
Hi Yasmina – not sure if my reply ended up in your spam folder but I PM’d you a few weeks back. All the best, Tim.
Hi
I’m interested in your 1-2-1 training.
I bought my wife a FUJI x100 and she could benefit from a skills re-fresher, aperture etc.
Thanks
Tim
Please can you email me the price of a 1-2- 1 session I’m thinking of getting this as a Christmas gift for my husband. We have a cannon slr camera but he would like to learn to use it better as he loves photography.
Thanks for your message and I’m sent you a pm with prices.I tend to do 121s in camera skills in Whitstable (on the beach) or in the studio in Canterbury (if working with lighting).
What do I mean by “camera skills”? For me it is getting people to stop shooting on automatic so that taking better pictures (and the pictures that they really want) becomes second nature and hassle-free.
All the best
Tim.
Off camera flash

Clair

Hi
I home educate my 15 year old daughter who is very interested in photography. She has completed a short course with a photographer in Ashford but we have recently moved to Canterbury. I have been looking for some sort of apprenticeship or on going 1-1 tuition for her as college doesn’t seem to be something she is interested in right now. Would you be able to help?
Hi Davinia and thanks for getting in touch. I’ve dropped you a pm.
Hi there! I studied photography at AS level and it is what I want to do. However, other jobs got in the way! I would love to be refreshed on the correct settings to use for certain situations, and I would love to see how to use studio lighting and flash properly. Can you let me know your prices and if you have any workshops soon in either Canterbury or Faversham? Thanks!
Hi Kate and thanks for getting in touch (I’ve dropped you a pm this morning). All the best, Tim.
