• You start to piece everything together in this two part project week and Lightroom Classic is introduced too!

You get me on a silver platter!! LOL! Seriously, you get me on tap, especially of the first few weeks when the technical content is sinking in. No question is too silly and my inbox is always open. At the end of every weekly Zoom, there is a Q&A session to ask anything you’d like. Two Lightroom workshops are included and the Awards show during our last Zoom to show you how far you’ve come.

If you throw everything at this, you’ll leave shooting in manual mode forever, your very own girl gang and a new passion for photography that will light you up. Confidence will be at an all time high and it might even open up some life changing paths. There is so much content and opportunity to connect, you’d be mad to miss it!

Every Monday morning the fresh content for that week is dropped in your profile alongside a video of me doing the weekly project. 

On Thursday's (usually) at 8pm, we Zoom which is recorded and circulated the next day for those that missed it live. The Zoom schedule is available on day one of the course for your diaries.

The weekly project is to be completed at a time to suit you. You don't need to complete it by the Thursday in time for the Zoom as most clubbers take the weekend to practice and share their project work.

You can do this course with any camera that has a manual mode (an M on the dial). If you have a point and shoot camera with a fixed lens, it may hold you back slightly but you will still learn how a camera works and how you can best use it to get great results. 

I would recommend a DSLR or a mirrorless with detachable lenses if you’re serious about your photography and want to progress faster.

Yes - detailed, personalised feedback will be given by myself and @fayehattonphotography to help you grow and gain confidence.

There is no deadline as such. This six week course was designed for busy lives (because I created it in one!) If you find yourself lost for time one week, you can submit your weekly project the following week or the one after that! Most clubbers do their homework on a weekend when time and light is usually kinder. 

If you miss the weekly Thursday evening Zooms, they are always recorded and added to your personalised profile available via Lens Eleven log in. The information covered in the Zooms is to back up your weekly content and give you extra things to think upon.

If life gets in the way of you completing this course for whatever reason, you can re-take the course at a cost of £449, or download the course content before it ends and learn independently using the materials provided.
