Photography Workshops and Training

Mark Fraser Photography Workshops

Mark Fraser Photography workshops and training are an opportunity for you to learn from a professional photographer. Based in Milton Keynes, these workshops will be relaxed and informative. We aim for you to leave having had fun, but having learnt skills to take your photography to the next level.

We limit all courses to a maximum of five people to ensure that everyone gets quality time and learns as much as possible. The workshops are full of practical sessions where you get to try out your new skills. These are not classroom courses: Most of your time will be spent discovering and experiencing what you are learning.

The right photography workshop for you

INTRODUCTION TO DSLR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. This one-day photography workshop starts from the basics and gets you confident in using a DSLR. It is for those who want to learn how to use their DSLR camera. If you are stuck using the camera in full automatic mode or have just got your first DSLR camera, this is for you. We look at the basics that will help you start to take control of your camera to take the pictures you want. We will start with basics and look at the key dials and menus on your camera and some of the important settings you need to understand in order to get the best from your camera. Photography training from the ground up.

PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE. This photography workshop is for those people who understand the basics of their camera (as covered in the Introduction Course) but want to take better pictures of family or friends. You don’t always need lots of expensive lights to get some stunning photos. We will look at photographing indoors just using available light. We will then look at using natural light outside, how to pick your location and how to “pose” people so they look their best but still look natural.

INTRODUCTION TO SPEEDLIGHTS. This photography workshop is for those people who understand the basics of their camera (as covered in the Introduction Course) but want to start to use speedlight flashes on and off camera.

1:1 PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING. Flexible tailored 1:1 tuition. Book in for a fully customised day where I will cover just the things you want us to cover. Bespoke training to meet your needs.

1:1 TWO DAY ‘LIVE’ WEDDING COURSE. The ultimate introduction to wedding photography. A 1:1 personal workshop. A day of business and wedding photography training followed by the ultimate experience:  assist at a wedding alongside the main photographer capturing all the moments throughout the day without the pressure of getting it right first time. This course will build your confidence very quickly compared to standard courses or books.

About our Photography Workshops

We offer a selection of photography workshops with more to be introduced in the coming weeks as they complete development. There are two types of course: Group and 1:1.

Group workshops offer amazing value starting at only £125. We have a maximum of 5 people on a course and so you will get plenty of time and opportunity and will not get lost in a large group. They are very practical, and with such small numbers, you will have plenty of opportunities to have a go yourself!

1:1 sessions are fully tailored to you. We will discuss exactly what you are looking to get from your session and Mark will tailor the session especially for you. You can purchase blocks of time and then use in one go or in two hour sessions to suit you.

All, our photography training courses are based in Milton Keynes which has some amazing hidden locations that offer superb opportunities for taking some wonderful photos.
