Over recent decades, photography has moved from being a specialist art form to a truly democratic medium – open to all. With the right equipment, anyone can take a decent picture. But with some professional guidance, you can create the kind of images that people will remember and want to share. Like the medium itself, our photography training is open to everyone. Taught by award-winning photographers, courses can be tailored to your specific requirements, reflecting the needs and abilities of individuals, groups or businesses. Whether you want to learn how to move from auto to manual settings on your DSLR, refine your existing portfolio, or train your staff how to create eye-catching commercial imagery, our expert tutors can help.
We can offer a hands-on workshop in technique, a masterclass in post-production, a talk on the latest industry standards – or a mixture of modules. It really is up to you. Working side-by-side with Guardian creatives, you or your team can develop technical skills or finesse a creative project. We can show you how to create slick images for your website, menu or marketing materials, or ensure that the images on your Instagram or Twitter feed stand out from the crowd. Whatever your brief, Guardian Masterclasses can create a bespoke course that will help you achieve the results you want.
We can host courses at the Guardian’s high-spec offices in central London, or bring them to you or your workplace. Masterclasses can take place anywhere around the globe, at a location convenient for you. We can also provide keynote speakers and workshop facilitators for your own conferences, seminars and projects. Get in touch now and find out what we can do for you or your business.

Testimonials for photography masterclasses
“I really can’t speak highly enough of this course. The tutors were excellent, extremely interesting and supportive. The structure worked really well. I thoroughly enjoyed both days and came away feeling inspired and motivated to take more pictures.” – Laura attended “How to find your style as a photographer”
“It was exactly what I was hoping for - I liked the emphasis on taking time to compose your shots rather than correct it in photoshop. It left me wanting to go and take photos - can’t really ask for more than that!” – Karen attended “Improve your photography: Mastering composition”
“The passion and excitement that Rosie and Jill experience through their work was infectious. They were both so generous with their information and experience. Chatting to everyone individually too.” – Colleen attended “Food styling and photography with Rosie Reynolds and Jill Mead”
“Antonio is both an engaging person, and an experienced photographer, who provided a perfect level of technical input and allowed us a ‘window’ into his varied life experiences. Great weekend.” – Graham attended “Street photography with Antonio Olmos”
