What to Photograph in your city?

Manchester is many things, but boring isn't one of them! There are countless photography opportunities all over the city, both for beginners and experienced photographers. We love vibrant neighbourhoods like the Northern Quarter, which are perfect for street photography practice. The colourful street-art and eclectic groups of people make great subjects. If this sounds like your cup of tea, then take a look at our course, 'Street Photography For All'. Here you will learn how to take subtle photographs on the go and compose captivating scenes.

Manchester's nightlife is famed throughout the world, and the city is certainly enticing once the sun goes down. The lamp-lit streets have a poetic charm and there's an exciting buzz to the city. However, photographing at night can be a challenge. Fortunately our 'night Photography' course will teach you all the creative possibilities in an easy and fun way.

If you prefer the comforts of home life, and who can blame you, then we also have a wonderful selection of live online courses! You can master your camera without ever leaving the bedroom! We have dozens of experiences waiting for you: from learning how to correctly edit your images to snapping the perfect selfie. If you don't have an SLR camera, DSLR camera or a film camera, we have courses in smartphone photography too. Our photography courses are varied and packed with knowledge. Like Manchester, there is something for everyone.

Impress your friends with your new photography training or give them a course as a gift!
