TRAINWITH THE BEST There’s always new stuff to learn, so check out Nikon School’s line-up of courses and workshops
BEGINNER OR EXPERIENCED, one thing that all good photographers know is there’s always more to learn. Whether you want to pick up new techniques, refine the way you shoot for better results, or learn all about a new piece of kit, it’s a great idea to engage in regular training. Nikon School offers that opportunity. In this year’s PN Awards, Nikon School has been recognised with a special award for outstanding contribution to the photographic industry 2021 – for its commitment, dedication and innovation over the past two years. During this time, Nikon successfully adapted to these challenging times with innovation, going from a London-based centre to a virtual, online presence that’s accessible to all. Nikon School covers a huge range of topics, training, educating and inspiring all types of photographer. There’s portraiture, location fashion
shoots, street portraits, landscape and wildlife photography, to name but a few. Nikon School also covers the finer points of post-production, file management and videomaking. For instance, it is currently offering a six-week photography masterclass, run via online webinars every Wednesday from 3pm to 5pm, starting 9 March. Suitable for people looking to start photography as a hobby, or photographers wanting to improve existing skills, it covers everything from choosing the right gear for what you want to shoot, to the basics of shutter speed, aperture and ISO, before moving on to the likes of focusing, composition and editing. Nikon School’s experience days can help you hone skills across a range of subjects. As well as learning, you’ll be guaranteed to come back with some great shots to treasure. Upcoming for July, there’s a day at the British Wildlife Centre in Lingfield,
Surrey, with guidance from both experienced photographers and naturalists – letting you get close to species like foxes, mink, red squirrels, owls, Scottish wildcats and harvest mice. On experience days like this one, you’ll also have the chance to try out specific Nikon products, so it’s a great way of getting your hands on a new lens or camera body. Further afield, landscapers and travel photographers can look forward to a ‘winter wonderland’ photo tour of Iceland, led by Nikon School’s training manager Neil Freeman and pro landscape photographer Mark Andreas Jones. Kicking off in January 2023, this nine-day trip takes in some of the most spectacular and dramatic destinations in the world. Typically, you’ll find groups no larger than 12, so that everyone involved can benefit from the tutors’ knowledge, but one-to-one training is also available.
The Nikon School homepage also has a Hints & Tips section, where you can find articles on all sorts of photographic subjects, from step- by-step guides on camera set-up, to fascinating subject-led features from professionals in the industry.
