Ask the Expert

Improve Your Photography
Short, practical advice throughout the session covering camera technique, composition and creative approaches that you can put into practice straight away.

Print Your Image
Choose one of your favourite photographs and create a physical print to take home. Discover how your images look away from the screen and learn about preparing photographs for print.

Bring Your Laptop – Editing Help

• Memory cards and spare batteries.
• Laptop and editing software, if you'd like help with your images.
