For all our workshops you need a Digital
Camera with Fully Manual Exposure Mode (DSLR or Pro-User). We do recommend training
in photography with your own camera. If you do not have one yet we can lend you one of ours or
we can advise you in what to buy. All our Photography Courses and Workshops in London are based in our Soho Studios
at 77 Oxford Street.
