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.

How many photography classes are listed on Learn.London?

Learn.London currently lists 404 photography classes in London.

Which London providers offer photography classes?

How do I find the right class?

Start with your level, then topic, then day, time, price and venue.
