Creativity Live is a brand-new series of workshops.
Heavily visual and interactive with plenty of examples and insider tips, we take a show-not-tell approach to teaching, guiding you through the more creative elements of photography; so you understand how to make your work stand out and learn how the best images are made.
In just two hours every Wednesday evening, you’ll be guided step-by-step on the best ways to take your photography forward.
No prior experience is necessary and whether you are a beginner, have no formal education in photography or simply want to expand your creative skills, these workshops are designed for you.
Tutor profile: Jon Cunningham is a professional photographer and founder of award-winning creative education company, Creative Escapes. His work has been published in The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Country Living and more, shot 7 books for Penguin and Dorling Kindersley, taught photography internationally across 16 countries, mentored dozens of photographers from beginner to professional, and is the author of ‘Teach Yourself : Your Complete Photography Course’ (Hodder).
