Studio Time



London Photography Courses emerged from the sheer volume of new photographers wanting to hire the studio, many of whom had no idea how to use studio lighting or what all the knobs and dials did on their camera! So we set about supporting these people through courses designed in a very user friendly fashion, and which are info packed days. We do not overwhelm you with technical theories or numbers, studio photography courses use a hands on practical ‘learn by doing’ style.

London photography courses is a Studio Time company, set up by professional photographers Tony Thornton and Martin Gomez.
