About Paul and Brian

Photography courses, teaching photography and the photographic industry have been a part of Paul and Brian's lives for many years. When they first conceived DigitalMasterclass it was with the ethos of offering college/university quality photography courses to students without the time to attend a 1, 2 or 3 year course.

 

Their experience from working for many years within the mainstream adult education system, and as professional photographers, has given them the skills to design photography courses that produce a strong learning experience. After all, just because you are a professional photographer it doesn't follow that you can teach the subject effectively - we can. Our photography courses are designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels of photographic knowledge. Therefore even if you have only just received your first digital camera, simply need to increase your skill level, or as an advanced practitioner you relish a challenge, our photography courses would be ideal for you.

 

Emphasis is not just placed on how to use your camera, but on understanding what makes a successful photograph. We will walk you through subjects such as composition, lighting, and the creative use of shutter speed and depth of field. We will also help you explore the use of black & white photography and Adobe Photoshop. Every Masterclass and e-learning course gives the student the opportunity to achieve a nationally recognised accreditation if they so wish.

 

Our photography courses will show you the "must know" secrets of good photography, and teach you to "see" the image. If you can't see the image how can you take a photograph of it? This is the key to producing powerful & compelling photographs.

 

Our courses are structured to reinforce the learning process and make your whole experience memorable. They have also been externally accredited and recognised by the Open College Network and awarded level 2 and level 3 status.

 

All our students have life long access to our online learning zone where their learning materials are available, along with articles and reviews. Photography is an on-going learning process and we are always available to our past and present students. We are happy to be with you throughout your photographic journey.

 

All of our Masterclasses have a relaxed atmosphere. After all, we are amongst people who all share the same interest; the same passion for photography. Insight and knowledge is not solely confined to the classroom or in the field, but continues to be shared over dinner, or simply while sitting and chatting over a glass of wine.
