Every photographer, whether just starting out or already accomplished, continues to learn from every experience on their journey in photography, and there are few better ways to accelerate that learning process than spending time with expert tutors on a course. Not only will there be plenty of practical and ‘inside’ information on how to achieve the results you are after in your images, but there is something quite magical about spending time with like-minded individuals immersed in a subject you are all passionate about. Th ere are courses in this guide to suit all levels and interests – and some of the expert tutors have kindly shared some top tips on improving your photographs in the features you will fi nd throughout the following pages. When booking a course, make sure you fi nd out what level it is aimed at and ask about whether the elements you are looking to learn about are covered as part of the experience. Some trips will focus more on getting you into the right place at the right time to take amazing images and less on formal learning; other courses will be more formal and less about the locations. Th e more questions you ask, the better the match with your aspirations will be, which works well for everyone. One thing is for sure, you will move your photography forward by engaging with an expert tutor on a course – and you may fi nd yourself seeing photography in a whole new light.
