10 November 2014 - Photo Training for you

With anything in life it is unrealistic to believe that you will obtain all you need to know from one source or place or trainer come to that and although I am undertaking a full-time photography degree there are also many professional photographers who provide extremely good training in the UK.

I must admit I have been dabbling with photography for many years and in that time I have attended some terrific courses outside the Higher Education sphere.

So that said, here are the ones that having sampled their personal training, downloadable content, books and DVD's, I would definitely recommend.

Damien Lovegrove - High quality downloadable training material (to purchase) with very good 10 out of 10 content.  In addition Damien provides top quality training courses albeit at a price.

Also see his very informative blog also 10/10 but it does promote his training and saleable products so be aware: http://www.prophotonut.com/

Mark Cleghorn - Worth joining the "Photographer Academy" (was "phototraining4U.com) on annual subscription.  This is the largest European photo training company and has many training videos to help you improve practically everything.  Also supports business development.

Aspire Photography Training - Based in the Lake District they specialise in the business end of being a photographer and provide training on operating a profitable and successful photography business. For the third year in a row Aspire Photography Training was awarded ‘best training provider’ and was also shortlisted for ‘best product of the year’ by the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP.)

I have personally attended a selection of their various courses, books, DVD's etc. and found all three to be what I needed.  So take a look and see what you think!
