Over the years I’ve developed a technique for breaking photography down to simple concepts which anyone can understand, and then building real knowledge about how they all fit together.
My goals, as a teacher, are to:
- Quickly get you taking control of the camera and taking better photos.
- Help you understand why certain settings do certain things.
- Make sure you’re not overwhelmed – I just teach what’s needed.
- Give you a foundation of basic knowledge, which you can build on later at your own pace.

Upcoming Classes
Photo School classes and walks have been suspended due to coronavirus. I will be in touch soon with those who have booked or bought vouchers. Thank you for your patience. More about how the outbreak will affect Photo School.
Buying for someone else? Gift Vouchers are available.
Beginners Photography
Developed and refined over seven years, Beginners Photography is at the heart of Photo School. My one-day class will see you understanding the fundamentals and set you up to continue learning in your own way.
Composition Workshop
New for 2020, a one-day workshop in Birmingham city centre looking at how the great photographers worked to see the world in new ways, and practical exercises to turn your snapshots into potential masterpieces.
Mastering Manual
New for 2020, a two hour outdoor walking workshop based on the City at Night photo walk. Photography in the evening forces you to use the Manual setting, working with available light, tripods and the capabilities of your camera to produce photos from the sublime to the other worldly.
Personal Tuition
If learning in a class doesn’t appeal to you or you’re after something quite specific, I can offer personal tuition. A chat in a cafe, a bespoke one-on-one class, an afternoon out taking photographs or something else that suits your needs.
