ONE WEEK - DSLR TUITION AT WIMBORNE’S WALFORD MILL
We run a very successful short course in photography at Walford Mill Craft Centre, in historic Wimborne.
Over six full day classes you’ll study everything from the basics through to advanced digital skills: covering four key genres inphotography. This exciting course is ideal for beginners and intermediate photographers of all ages.
There will be time for one-to-one tuition at a relaxed pace – we will provide theory with live workshops including studio lighting, landscapes and professional portraiture. The day trip is always brilliant fun, a super chance to learn about filtration too...
You don’t have to bring your own camera, but ideally, bring an SLR/DSLR.
Walford Mill is a beautiful 18th Century building, and provides a unique and refreshing environment to study in. The surroundings offer plenty of inspiration and provide the opportunity to practice new skills.
The whole course of six alternating Thursdays costs just £250 (no VAT). Places always fill quickly so advanced booking is strongly advised.

“Hi Mark and Will - This is just to let you know that I entered a photo I took at the course in October into a Camera Club Competition... The attached photo of Rachelle was entered into a competition where the category was ‘People’ and it won 3rd prize. Many thanks for getting me to the stage where I could achieve this.”
Robert, Autumn 2011
“Morning chaps. Thanks to Will for all his help and advice on the course last night, yet again a great success I hope to see you soon. ”
Ashley Sutton, Spring 2012
“The good thing about the course was the ”one to one” tuition, it enabled all of us at times to have a clear understanding: you easily coped with the different levels that we all were at. I look forward to hearing what might be on the horizon next year...”
Patsy, Autumn 2010
