Photographers' London Short Course
Course description
Course overview
This photography course is for people who may be new to photography or new to London. During this weeklong course, your classroom will be a combination of lectures and crits at the Kings Cross campus and photographing practical projects with your tutor 'in the field' at various London destinations.
This course will not include any darkroom practice, so students are asked to budget for their own developing costs, as well as a travel card to cover visits around London.
Who this course is for
This course is suitable for anyone interested in developing photography skills, regardless of prior experience. Beginners are welcome, as are those looking to expand existing knowledge.
This is a Summer School only short course running only once a year. We encourage early bookings to secure your place.
