I’m a complete beginner. Which photography class in London should I start with?

Start with a beginner digital class or a taster. Skip studio, fashion and documentary intensives first.

Do I need my own camera?

Often yes, a DSLR or mirrorless. Check each class page, because some classes provide kit.

Should I book a taster, a short course, or a long course?

A taster is a few hours to try photography. A short course is a skill block. A multi-week foundation is a bigger commitment of cost and time.

Should I start with portrait, studio or street photography?

Start with a beginner class first, then fill the gap you care about, portrait, studio or street.

Can I find evening or weekend photography classes in London?

Yes. Use the Evening and Weekend filters on this page.
