Frequently asked questions
Will is a professional photographer known for capturing the essence of life through his photography. Drawing from his background in fashion media and magazines, his work has been used for established corporations and featured in esteemed publications.
I'll break down your camera to help you learn about shutter speed, aperture, ISO and how these settings affect your exposure. I will also introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a beautiful London that is alive with detail.
This intensive class suits anyone interested in photography but doesn't know the basic rules and principles. Now you have got a chance to learn from a professional photographer in a small group and practice your skills under my direct guidance.
For the class, it's recommended to bring a wide angle lens , a zoom lens, or even a tele-angle lens. This will allow you to explore various angles and compositions, as well as to make the most of the shooting techniques we’ll cover. You may also bring a tripod if you have one.
You can still join the class and learn the basic knowledge from the theory session, though you won't be able to make use of a camera for the practice session. However, you may hire a camera from me at an extra cost of £30. Just request in advance.
