Photography training and teachingDigital Photography Courses and lecturesKeith Cooper teaches aspects of photography in Leicester, Leicestershire and the UK East Midlands. As a qualified adult tutor (City and Guilds 7307) and university lecturer he appreciates the varying needs of learners. Photography courses from Northlight Images can cover a very wide range of material at whatever level of complexity you want. Keith also provides bespoke personal training to individuals and companies on photography and digital image manipulation.
Many corporate clients want to take their own photographs for internal and web use. Keith offers training to help you get the most out of the equipment you already have and can help you decide whether it is truly adequate for your needs. At Northlight we are not worried by the prospect of people doing their own photography -- we know that our clients value the creative insight and technical skills that come as standard in all our commercial photography. We have more specific web pages (with prices) covering:Typically we charge £400 (+VAT) per half day and £750 (+VAT) per day for our customised training courses*. This is a total cost and can include up to four people. We also run seminars for larger groups (up to 12) at the same cost.
Our training courses are designed to fit -your- precise needs.
