Hi Sajidah, We do run a camera workshop designed to teach how to use the camera in manual mode, this is a good place to start as a complete beginner.
Your friend will learn all about the camera settings, exposure and the like, and will be shooting by the end of the day.
The workshop is £115.00 incl Vat. you can either book on line or call the studio any time and we will book you a place.

I wonder if you could advise me. I have a friend who shows a lot of potential in photography. I would like to buy her a course – private or otherwise. She does not live in the UK but will be visiting next year on a short trip. Can you suggest a short course and if I will be able to book it for her nearer the time of her arrival here. I can not afford a very expensive course. This will be my way of encouraging her interest in photography. She runs an acting school abroad and directs and produces plays.

Hi
There is no age limit but if you are under 16 then you will need to be with a legal guardian.

How old do you have to be to take these courses?
Hi Evgeny
We are fully booked this weekend (14-15th November) but we can certainly organise tuition for the following weekend (Saturday 21st Nov).
To book your place I need to take a 50% deposit from you, I will send details about this to you by email. If you wish to book in a model I need to know by Thursday 19th Nov latest.
Your English seems rather good and I am sure we will not have any problems with language on the day.

HI
I think firstly I’m going to book 3 hours of one to one tuition and tomorrow I’ll ask my friends about being a model for these 3 hours. If they cannot I will hire a model through your studio.
So, 1)Is it possible to take this tuition on this or next weekends?
2)how can I book it?
By the way, I’m not a native speaker, I’m studying in London at Pre-Master’s course, so is it ok, i mean my language?
Hi again Evgeny
I would say you will need at least 4 hours to cover:
1) Camera settings for studio flash (exposure and white balance)
2) Using a flash light meter
3) Introduction to a studio flash unit
4) Portrait lighting
5) Beauty Lighting
You certainly need a model to practise on, as we need to jodge the position of lights by looking at shadows cast on the models face. If your budget can’t stretch to hiring a model through us then you could always bring a friend along as your model?
Regards
Martin
Hi Martin
Thanks for these answers, happy to get it so quickly=)
I’ve never worked in studio and I’d like to know about Studio flash lighting. So I need an advice How many hours do I need to take to get basic knowledge about studio lighting technique in one-to-one course, so I can bravely book one-to-one tuition?
By the way, is it useful to include a model in this part of course?
Thanks
Hi Evgeny
The Canon 450D with the 24-105 lens is a good choice for portraiture and beauty, the telephoto end of the lens is superb for close in tightly cropped headshots.
Here are the answers to your questions about one to one tuition.
1) Yes one to one tuition is charged at £50 per hour and for this you get a teacher, studio lights and photo studio.
2) One to one tuition can include a model and for this there is a charge of £50 half day or £75 full day for hiring the model.
3) Yes it is possible to do this course on the weekend.
If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
