THE PHOTO ACADEMY Glasgow

If you're on this website then you are probably considering either learning photography or improving your skills. Why not sign up for one of our great photography courses and online courses? Our Glasgow-based photographers will show you the reins and get you to where you want to be. From amateur to pro, we have something for everyone!

Glasgow's creative re-birth has brought heaps of vibrancy and flare, making it Scotland's coolest city. True, it's changed a lot, but it has still retained its industrial edge that makes Glasgow unique. There are so many creative opportunities to explore, so it's best to grab your camera and make the most of what's on your doorstep!

What to Photograph in your city?

Eclectic architecture, world-famous art galleries and trendy neighbourhoods: there are thousands of things to photograph in Glasgow! No matter what medium you want to master, there is something to satisfy every photographer's desires.

A stroll around the city, camera in hand, is a good way to discover what you're drawn to. Do you find yourself obsessing over the architectural wonders of the Mitchell Library or the Riverside Museum? Then our architecture photography course will be perfect for you.

Or maybe the hustle and bustle of the East End gets your trigger finger twitching. In which case, our reportage or street photography courses will show you how to get to grips with fast-paced photography when out and about.

For nature lovers, head out to the stunning countryside that surrounds Glasgow. Loch Lochmond is a dream for landscape photographers. We have loads of courses that will show you how to make use of light and composition to get the best scenic shots.

Prefer to photograph people? Our online courses will help teach you skills to snap the perfect party photo or take memorable pictures at weddings and events. We even have an online class for the best selfie! Impress your friends with your new photography training or give them a course as a gift. Don't worry if you don't have an SLR camera, DSLR camera or a film camera, we also have courses in smartphone photography.
