One to One Studio Lighting tuition

One-to-One Studio Lighting

Our private Studio Lighting tuition is for beginner, intermediate and advanced photographers alike. You will learn how to control continuous and flash lighting using daylight, studio lamps and your own camera-mounted flash.

The sessions take place at our Shoreditch studio where we have a range of studio equipment available, or you can bring your own if you prefer. Alternatively we can arrange for one of our tutors to come and visit you at home or on location, or help you with your own studio setup. Please call us on 020 7729 1936 or email for further details.

Your tutor will be assigned based on his experience in your preferred field, of photography - portraiture, still-life, fashion, children or weddings for example - and the course can therefore be tailored to your needs.

    ‘I booked a three-hour 1-2-1 training session at PCL at very short notice and was delighted with the tuition I received. I came away feeling I had learnt a LOT. If you have any niggling unresolved photography problems then I highly recommend giving them a call and arranging a session.’
