...the workshop I have just attended was so professionally organised and run, and so informative...
Extremely good value - One of the most useful courses I have attended.
Great value for money! - Excellent workshop.
It covered a wide range of topics which were all specific.
I learned a lot from the studio setup. - Everything covered was very useful.
Well worth coming to as it's given me some great ideas.
Products and pricing info was just what I needed.
What is a foundation workshop?
Started in 2008, our foundation workshops provide an overview to the whole business of school photography based on the 28 years of experience I have as an independent professional school and pre-school photographer. The workshop is carefully designed to cover all the essentials needed to give you a comprehensive view of what schools, pre-schools and our industry expects from you and how you can ensure you meet those expectations. These workshop may contain slightly different content depending on where they are held i.e., a hotel or a procession lab etc. but ultimately, you will end up with a great deal of knowledge. How you then use this in your business is up to you as everyone has different ideas for their own way forward.
