Suitable clothing
It's important to wear clothing and footwear which is suitable for the outdoors. You are advised to bring a waterproof jacket, and 'layer up' for warmth as you can get cold easily when standing around in the outdoors for long periods. Bring a hat and gloves too. Bring a large golf brollie to protect your camera on rainy days.
Notebook and Pen
We suggest that you bring a notebook and pen so you can take notes during the course.
Fitness
Our courses are not particularly physically demanding, although you will be on your feet throughout our photography sessions and be walking from place to place. However, if you have mobility issues we can tailor the tuition to your needs. Contact us to discuss this.
The weather
Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather and we sometimes have to adapt our courses to take weather conditions into account. Please bear with us.
