5-week photography course, Mondays from 11th January to 8th February 2027, 2pm – 4.30pm.

A fun and practical photography course designed to build your skills, boost your confidence, and unlock your creativity, whatever your photographic passion. Whether you enjoy portrait, wildlife, landscape or everyday photography, this will help you gain greater control of your camera and create more compelling images.

Jackie inspires and motivates in her excellent photography workshops. Apart from her skills and talents as a photographer and teacher she has a great sense of humour, making each session thoroughly enjoyable and fun!

What we cover:

• Lighting and key camera controls – setting up your camera for best results
• Creative exposure – understanding and managing light for mood, atmosphere and dramatic effect
• Focal length and composition – understanding lens choices and how they influence your images
• Speed and motion – capturing movement creatively, including developing a proficient panning technique
• Practical field trip – putting new skills into practice with guidance and feedback

This course combines technical understanding with creative exploration, helping you move beyond simply taking photographs to creating images that communicate mood and express your unique perspective.

You’ll learn how to see more creatively, developing your observation skills and discovering how light, timing and composition can transform an ordinary scene into an extraordinary photograph. Through practical demonstrations and guided exercises, you’ll gain the confidence to make creative choices and understand exactly how your camera settings influence the final image.

Whether you're looking to master the fundamentals, refresh existing knowledge, or push your photography to the next level, this course provides a supportive and inspiring environment in which to learn. With plenty of opportunities to practise throughout, you'll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration and a deeper understanding of how to make the most of your camera.

For all levels, this course is ideal to build on existing skills or as a valuable refresher.

All cameras are welcome.
