"Steve and Tash were brilliant! From the minute my son and I walked through their door they were funny, easy going, knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome. They were even happy enough to lend us equipment. We had a great group of people on our course with various abilities.
We now feel so confident in all aspects of our photography and are even going to start an instagram account for our works of art.
Can’t recommend them enough.""

"I thoroughly recommend the photography for beginners course! Steve and Tash were great teachers and had plenty of knowledge to share. They kept us engaged throughout and kept things relaxed while covering a lot of information.
I definitely have more confidence already using the manual settings on my camera and a greater understanding of how they work. I can already see the difference in my photos and how I prepare to take them. Thank you both"

"wHad a really enjoyable couple of days on the ID Photography beginners course run by Tash and Steve. It was a really well run course with plenty of opportunity to ask lots of questions and put all of the lessons into practice, highly recomend to anyone looking to get off your cameras auto settings and onto manual!"

THE DETAILS
WHAT THE COURSE IS ABOUT
Learn to control your camera rather than your camera control you!
Our beginners photography course is designed for you to learn with a camera in your hand rather than your head in a book to acquire the techniques to improve your photography in a small, fully interactive, sociable group.
The main objective of the course is to learn how to shoot with a manual exposure so you're completely in control of your camera, therefore in full control of the outcome of your photographs. You'll be getting to grips with the rule of thirds/composition, depth of field, flash and much more, together with techniques for your individual photographic interests to take you from a beginner to a confident and fully manual shooting photographer.
HOW THE COURSE WORKS
Our courses are split into two half days over a weekend for optimal learning with numbers limited to a maximum of 8 people on each course. You'll be learning with two tutors (our photographers Tash & Steve), at our studio in St. Neots, Cambridgeshire, providing group practical work together with lots of one-to-one advice and practice.
Our course includes light refreshments and our very own Photography for Beginners Guide booklet for you to take home, small enough to keep with your camera.
