What equipment do I need
to bring with me?
We have
a digital camera for your use. However
if you have your own camera equipment
it’s a good idea to bring it with
you; either because you are familiar
with it; or because you want to
learn more about its functions.
Don’t forget the instruction manual.
Should I bring a film camera
or a digital camera?
It
doesn’t matter. The principles of
photography are the same.
Our
tuition is based around digital
cameras; but if you wish; having
set up a shot with our digital equipment
you can then shoot it on your film
camera.
I’m just a beginner is this
too complicated for me?
Not
at all. Our tuition is 1:1
so the tuition is tailored exactly
to your needs.
Are some of your modules too
in depth for me at my level?
No.
We have split up photography
into its fundamental basics which
all photographers need to know about.
A newcomer to photography
can study the same module as a professional,
the difference is that they will
be working at different levels.
Can I bring my partner or
friend with me?
Yes your
partner or friend can come along
to share the cost and equipment.
This will cost an extra £100/day,
and your tuition will then be 1:2
and not 1:1. The whole ethos of
our modules is for you to learn
by hands on experience with 1:1
or 1:2 tuition and feedback.
This is not possible with
large groups, we do not therefore
cater for more than two students
at a time unless by special arrangement.
Where can I stay?
A
wide variety of accommodation is
available locally starting from
bed and breakfast at around £25,
ranging up to 4 star hotels. Contact
us for details.
Can I bring my young
children with me?
The studio
is not a suitable environment for
young children; except for brief
periods when they act as models;
under close parental supervision.
What clothes should I wear?
We
don’t recommend you wear your best
clothes in our studio. It’s also
advisable to bring warmer items
such as a fleece, as temperatures
are very difficult to regulate in
a photographic studio – particularly
in winter. If working outside stout
shoes (or walking boots), waterproof
jacket, and suitable warm clothing
layers are strongly recommended.
Should I bring my laptop computer?
If
you are used to viewing your images
on your laptop please feel free
to bring it along.
The
majority of the modules are not
necessarily computer dependant so
this is entirely
at your discretion.
I don’t use computers are
you going to confuse me?
No,
there are other ways of viewing
digital images apart from using
computers, so the amount of computer
use is entirely up to you.
Should I bring examples of
my photography with me?
Yes
this is a very good idea. If
you have any photographs you would
like us to evaluate; or examples
of problems you have encountered;
then please feel free to bring them
along.
Are there any extra or hidden
costs?
No, except should
you require prints as below.
I want prints of my work how
do I go about this?
If you
are working digitally with your
own camera you may have enough memory
to store all your work yourself
to be printed later. Otherwise we
can supply a disc of your images
for you to have printed. We do not
operate a printing service, but
can show you how to print out digitally
from Photoshop if you are not familiar
with this process.
A 24 hour Kodak 35mm. film processing
service is available from a local
chemist – we have no connection
with them and can accept no liability
should you choose to use them.
