Where I teach
Join a group course in Lymm, or arrange private photography and Lightroom tuition at a location that works for you. Explore lessons around Cheshire, including Halton and Chester, and in Liverpool and Manchester. Choose English or Italian, or ask about photography with Italian conversation practice.
The photography and Lightroom day courses are designed for beginners. The portrait evening is a practical session with a professional model; ask whether it is a good fit for your experience.
Yes. Emanuele is bilingual and tuition can be arranged in English or Italian. Choose your preferred teaching language when enquiring. You can also ask about photography with informal Italian conversation, with English explanations when helpful.
The beginner photography course is £100 per person and the Lightroom course is £160 per person. Each price covers one course day from 10am to 4pm, including breaks, tuition for 3–5 learners, refreshments and optional access to the private course WhatsApp group. Equipment, travel, parking and Adobe software are not included.
Yes, on the Lightroom course you are welcome to bring a small selection, but it is entirely optional. We may work through selected images with your permission, and bringing a photograph does not oblige you to show it to the group.
