Photography Tuition

This morning the studio email inbox is again peppered with wedding photography enquiries, emails from Mr. Chumbawumba in Nigeria asking for my bank account info, lottery win notifications, details of saucy pills for saucy people and replica watch bargains. You could buy the last two and give someone a hard time; but I digress.

I also received more emails enquiring about photography tuition. I say to anyone looking for photography tuition "go check out evening courses at local colleges". Here, in and around Glasgow, you'll find courses for beginners through to improvers. If you're thinking of starting your own wedding photography business why not double it up with a business course? Furthermore, some colleges have the added attraction of their own (traditional) darkroom.

In Scotland you can get help with fees. If you open an Individual Learning Account you can claim up to 200(GBP) a year. It's available for anyone aged 18 or over and living in Scotland. You just contribute a minimum of 10 (GBP) per course.

If you don't fancy a classroom based course and you'd prefer 1-to-1 tuition; then give me a call.

Here's a few ideas for photography evening classes around Glasgow:
Has a large selection of courses for the beginner to the advanced. Studios are well equiped.
Normally offers a Beginners Black and White Photography course and a Black and White Photography workshop. Further details will be in their brochure; available August 2008.
Has a small selection of digital photography courses; listed in the "Evening & Lifestyle" section.
Has a digital photography course. At the time of writing it is free.
