Photography courses and workshops in Nottingham
Local photography courses with me, Dave, a professional commercial, wedding & family photographer
Got a fancy camera but still stuck on auto? I get it – I was exactly the same! It wasn’t until I went on a photo walk with a pro about 15 years ago that things finally started to make sense.
That’s when I learned about shutter speed, aperture, ISO – and most importantly, why they actually matter.
Now it’s my turn to pass that on. These laid-back, hands-on sessions are all about helping you feel more confident with your camera and actually enjoy using it.
Come join me and let’s make sense of all those buttons together!
What will I learn on this photography course?
That’s totally up to you.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, just unboxed a new camera, or you’ve been snapping away for years but never left auto mode – I’ve got you covered.
All my lessons are either one-to-one or in small groups, so I can tailor everything to your level and what you actually want to learn.
We’ll go at your pace, cover what makes sense for you, and make sure it’s fun along the way.

Once you’re booked in, I’ll be in touch to plan a session that suits you.
For one-to-one lessons, we’ll head out on a relaxed photo walk somewhere lovely in the Nottinghamshire countryside or a nearby park – the perfect way to learn as we go.
For group sessions, I’ll drop you a message closer to the date with everything you need to know – where to meet, what to bring, and what to expect.
Whether you’re completely new to photography or just want to get more from your camera, I’ll tailor the session to your level.
No experience needed – just bring your camera and a bit of curiosity!
How Much Does It Cost?
I like to keep things nice and easy.
I offer 90-minute one-to-one sessions (£75), or you can book a block of five sessions for £325 if you want to really dig in and keep the learning going.
I also run a few small group workshops throughout the year, which usually last around 2–3 hours – a great way to learn with others in a fun, relaxed setting.
Whether you’re after help with camera basics, want to troubleshoot something specific, or fancy trying out some new techniques, there’ll be plenty of time to ask questions, experiment, and improve your skills.
Can I Buy This As A Present?
Yep – these sessions make brilliant presents!
