Please contact me to let me know what course you would like to book.
Note that these courses are not designed to teach particular makes of camera, but on how to capture better images in a variety of different situations. Therefore it may be a good idea to bring along your camera’s user manual as I can not be knowledgeable about all makes of cameras.
