Basic Studio Lighting






As well as offering high quality photography services ourselves, we often have clients who are bitten by the bug and ask us how they can improve their skills behind the lens. To answer their question, we’re now offering photography courses in London – held at different times to suit everyone’s schedule.

Each one of our London photography course tutors is a skilled professional in their field, from portraits and people to landscape or journalism, offering a very high level of individual attention to each student.

If you’re worried that a photography course from a London-based high profile studio like Pro Image might not be accessible enough, think again. We offer photography courses that can take you from the basics of photography up to more advanced techniques and tricks of the trade.

Each one of our London photography courses will enable you to develop your own set of skills, making use of our own studios and shooting on location too. We’ll advise on appropriate camera kits, use of lighting to maximise the impact of your shots, and the importance of frame composition and perspective.

To aid you on your photography course, some of London’s finest photographers will be on hand to ensure you receive the highest quality tuition and offer first hand advice and recall their own personal experiences, allowing you an insight into how they achieve stunning portraiture, breathtaking landscapes and creative photography whatever the subject matter.

All our London photography courses will take advantage of some of the city’s stunning scenery and unique architecture, together with our own models and facilities - enabling you to evolve your own style and flair. We’ll review your shots together, discussing all aspects of composure, lighting, and technical parameters such as depth of field and ISO ratings so you’ll come to understand that the jargon used isn’t as daunting as you might have feared.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, or looking for advanced photography courses in London, at Pro Image Studios we encourage all our students at every step of the way, making sure they practice, practice, practice – after all, it does make for a perfect picture.
