– DSLR PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES FOR BEGINNERS IN NORTH LONDON –

I always get asked what is my favourite part of the photography business. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE taking photos of people but the thing I ENJOY the most is planning and teaching photography skills to adults and chidlren.
Being a teacher has defintely helped me create coursed and workshops that are engaging, creative and include tons of practical activities. After completing the courses or workshops I want YOU to be confident in using your camera and understand the principles of taking great photos.
Are you thinking of developing your photography skills then sign up to a one to one session or enrol to my adult beginner’s photography courses!
By understanding lighting, composition, perspective and setting up your camera correctly you will learn how to take gorgeous photos!
- Manual mode
- Learn how to get out of auto mode and use manual setting. Learn about the exposure triangle: ISO, shutter speed and aperture setttings
- Composition
- Understand and use different elements of composition to create more artistic and interesting images
- Light
- Learn how to light and position your subject using natural light to get sharper images

I took part in Mona’s photography for adult beginners and can’t recommend her enough. Mona has a beautiful, gentle, motivating and supportive teaching technique that makes her the perfect person to impart knowledge and receive questions – no matter how silly you might think. She puts a huge level of thought into each lesson plan introducing so many props, objects and fun additions to each lesson to give you the most varied and interesting photography experience.
I would highly recommend any one who is interested in photography to join her classes. I promise you you’ll leave feeling excited by your new found knowledge and you will look forward to using your camera in all these new ways. Bye bye automatic, hello manual DSLR!
Having followed Mona’s work on social media I was already a fan. Mona guided and demonstrated the endless possiblities of using mobile phone.
She encourged us to think about the shots, to be curious and see the ordinary as different. Great tips and tricks on how to use our phones to take pics in a more effective way. Just blown away by my own photography.
Turly graduated to using my phone to take pics in a completely different more effective way. Would highly recommend!

Do I need to know how to use my camera?
No! I will ask you before your session/course how much experience you have and will cater to your needs.
What type of camera shall I have?
You need to have your own digital SLR or mirrorless camera in order to get the most out of the course or one to one session. I use Canon but can teach any major brands (Nikon, Sony, Panasonic)
Do you teach mobile phone photography?
Yes, I run mobile phone photography courses 3-4 times in the year but if you create your own group with friends (minimum of 4 people) I can run a bespoke workshop just for you at your chosen time. For further tips have a read on mobile phone photography
