Latest Review from Student Adam – ‘…I’d sign up again in a snap!’

Posted on 2012/02/08 by PCL

‘I’ve done a few lessons / workshops / tutorials with the Photography Course London (PCL) guys and have enjoyed each one…
I started out as a complete beginner with photography, every shot I ever took with my DSLR was in full auto mode – I didn’t think anything more about it – but through various lessons and workshops, the PCL guys have really opened my eyes to the world of photography. Now I never use Automatic mode but actually decide on how I shoot depending on the subject or the effect I want to go for. It’s makes photography just much more fun!…
The Lessons/ Workshops are done in a very relaxed manner – the tutors are passionate and experts in their fields and every student that I have met on a workshop has been great too – I find the workshops educational but also a fun day out in equal parts!’
Adam Ramjean

Grace’s blog post | London Fashion Week

Posted on 2011/10/06 by PCL

So, for my second adventure and wonder through the streets of London, I thought I’d incorporate some of my personal interests and areas that I have a great passion for, (not that the previous places were dull and uninteresting to me, far from it!) but there was a specific exhibition I had in mind, and I thought it would fit in nicely this month (as it is fashion related) what with it being the Autumn/Winter Fashion Weeks and all, and in particular London Fashion week, it really was perfect timing!

The place I had in mind was the Gimpel Fils Gallery, situated just off of Oxford Street in the smart and somewhat overly priced part of central London.
