Photography Adventure

A cutting edge photography course that will show you how to create images that will amaze you and your friends.

What’s it all about?
This cutting edge photography course will show you how to create images that will amaze you and your friends, by teaching you skills used by professionals in all your favourite magazines. By the end of the holiday you will have developed a portfolio of exciting images using your new skills.

What will I learn?
Visually focused with indoor ‘classroom’ work kept to a minimum, the course will develop your technical, visual and creative skills. Our professional experts will teach you how to use the full manual operation of the camera – putting the control in your hands, not the camera. You will also learn about Photoshop retouching, professional lighting techniques, composing better images and developing your own personal vision. Ideal for beginners and intermediate photographers alike.

Can I do other activities as well?
Yes, every day you’ll also enjoy a half day of exciting activities from our multi activity programme.

Do I need any experience?
No, our professional photography instructors will pass on all their knowledge so you can develop from any level of experience.

Do I need any specialist equipment?
No, we will provide you with all the latest top of the range equipment.

A typical itinerary for this holiday

Sample day on Photography Adventure
Schedule Activity
Breakfast Off to the dining room with the rest of your group to fuel up for the day, you’ll need plenty of energy to keep you going. Breakfast includes cereals, toast, yogurts, porridge, and cooked breakfast – you choose!
Don’t forget to refill your drinks bottle before you head off to your first activity.
Morning Activities Half day of Photography Adventure
Lunch Worked up an appetite? Great – it’s time to replenish your energy stores with the dining room. If you have energy to spare after lunch your Group Leader will always be ready for a quick kickabout with a ball or you could relax and chat with your new friends.
Afternoon Activities Aeroball and Low Ropes Course
Dinner Time to eat again – a different menu each day (and did we mention, often evening meals come with a hot pudding too – or you can stick with fruit if you prefer).
Evening Ents Talent shows, campfires, quizzes and much more – your evening entertainment programme gives you the chance to get together with everyone else in your age group and have some laughs.
Bedtime Bedtime. The younger ones go first whilst older groups have time to chill out and chat or watch a DVD. Then it’s lights out and time to sleep ready to do it all over again tomorrow!
