Course description

Our Product Photography course is designed to enable the beginner to light, shoot and edit products for ecommerce.

The course will start with an overview of equipment, camera settings and lighting followed by a practical shoot. You are encouraged to bring items of your own to shoot.

The second half of the day will include further shooting and editing in Photoshop. Having shot your product you will learn enhancing techniques to make your image stand out. You will have the opportunity to edit out unwanted aspects of your image e.g. labels and change the colour of your background. Finally you will be able to resize and format your image for optimal web quality.

This course is delivered from our premises in Shoreditch.

    ‘I was really pleased, I came away from the day with all the fundamental tools to inspire me to use my camera properly and get off the auto mode. Our tutor was fabulous- enthusiastic, patient, explained everything really well and made the day fun. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to move up a gear in using your camera and being more creative behind the lens.’
    ★★★★★  Liz Campbell

    ‘Really great course which teaches you everything you need to know about your DSLR camera and how to get the most out of it. I went there because I use photography for work, but after the course, I really wanted to take up photography as a hobby, it was just so inspiring!’
