For those of us with an artistic streak that has been inside us for a lot longer than we’ve been mothers, we know the feeling of being too busy and craving time for a creative outlet. But that’s the beauty of photography… even if you’ve only got 5 minutes, you can fill your cup without […]

Most of our students who join the Advanced Photography Course sign up because they want to find their style, and become confident to shoot in any situation.

Today I chatted with Amy who after taking our Advanced Photography Course has gone on to shoot dream photography jobs […]
