A little planning.
New possibilities.

Price, group size & times

Beginner day courses

Each beginner course costs £100 per person and runs from 10am to 4pm. Groups have a maximum of four learners, so there is time for individual questions and guidance.

Refreshments are included. Lunch arrangements will be confirmed with the session details. Equipment, travel, parking and Adobe software are not included in the course price.

Photography night with photo-friends

Practise female portrait photography with a professional model. The evening costs £20 per person, runs from 7pm–9pm and has a maximum of 8 photographers, giving everyone time behind the camera.

The date, model, venue, lighting setup and practical arrangements will be confirmed for each evening. Explore the portrait session.

Dates & enquiries

The first course and portrait evening dates are being arranged. Venue availability is being checked before anything is advertised. You can join the early interest list, ask about the courses or portrait evenings and share days that usually work for you.

There is no online payment or confirmed reservation at this stage. Emanuele will discuss availability and the practical arrangements with you.

Tuition in English or Italian

Emanuele is bilingual and can teach the whole lesson in English or Italian. Choose your preferred teaching language on the enquiry form.

A dedicated Italian lesson can be arranged for one person or a small group. Tell Emanuele how many people would attend and which course interests you.

Lymm, with a wider welcome

Courses and portrait sessions take place in Lymm, Cheshire. Learners are welcome from Warrington, Altrincham, Knutsford and the surrounding area.

The indoor venue is selected for each session, depending on the activities, availability and number of attendees. The Spread Eagle is a preferred option, but is not a confirmed or permanent course venue.

The exact meeting point, parking information and access arrangements will be provided with the course details before a booking is finalised. Please tell Emanuele about any access or mobility requirements when enquiring, so the suitability of the session and venue can be discussed.

For photography sessions that include outdoor practice, the route and weather arrangements will also be confirmed. Bring clothing suitable for the agreed activities.

What to bring

Photography course

Your camera, a charged battery and a memory card with space. A camera with adjustable aperture, shutter speed and ISO is recommended. If you are unsure, include your camera model in your enquiry.

Lightroom course

For practical editing, plan to bring a laptop, charger and your own photographs. The Lightroom version and software requirements are still to be confirmed. Please check with Emanuele before buying a subscription or equipment.

Portrait evening

Bring your camera, a charged battery and a memory card with space. Any specific equipment requirements and lighting arrangements will be confirmed with the session details.

You get out what you put in.

You do not need to arrive knowing the answers. Come ready to ask questions, try the exercises and practise after the course. The more you share about what feels easy, what feels confusing and what you want to photograph, the more Emanuele can shape the guidance around you.

The optional photo profile on the enquiry form is a useful starting point. It covers confidence with composition and camera controls, experience, favourite subjects and what you hope to achieve.

Booking arrangements

An enquiry is the start of a conversation. Before you book, you will be given the date, venue, course requirements, payment instructions and cancellation or rescheduling terms for the session.

No place is reserved and no payment is taken through this website. If your plans change after enquiring, simply contact Emanuele.
