2.Beginners Photography Course – Small Group Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $336

Join photographer Lou for a four-hour, small-group walk from London Bridge Station to City Hall, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London. You will practice ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focus, composition, and light using your own camera, with plenty of individual help.

“The perfect course for me, I’m one of those who have been stuck on ‘auto and scene’ modes for years. This course really showed me what can be achieved with just a little bit of knowledge. Lou took the time and care to explain the basics to everyone in the group without us getting out of our depth.”

3.London Photography Masterclass – Private Photography Lesson

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $218

Spend about three hours with a private photography guide such as Rose, Derrick, or Noemi, learning to shoot London by day or night. Visit major sights, test long exposure and light trails, review images as you go, and bring your own camera and tripod.

“This was my fifth workshop with Aperture, my first in London. Derrick took the time to discover what I was more interested in. He is quite an accomplished photographer, so I felt like I had an opportunity to learn from the best. He was patient and at the same time, he pushed me to go beyond "good enough" to get to the best image. Even on a rainy, messy day in London, I captured the magic of the city.”

4.London Smartphone Photography workshop and tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $237

Meet Jett at Blackfriars and walk beside the Thames while learning composition, smartphone camera settings, and photo editing. The private two-hour session suits every phone and skill level, ending with coffee or tea and hands-on editing using a free app.

“Jett was teaching me very nifty techniques taking photos with my smartphone. She was wonderfully personable and open and personalized the time we spent together to the places I wanted to see in London. We had coffee at the end of the session where I got to work on editing the photos I took on our walk through the city. In addition Jett sent me an email listing the many details and instructions she provided during the class so. I will book her again in my next trip to London and highly recommend her work.”
