We run photo workshops to teach and encourage you to know your camera and experience real creative expression in your photography. Modern cameras are full of incredible technology with many automatic settings that are great for making snapshots. But you can do better than that. You can learn to use your camera to create images with feeling, that tell a story and really communicate your vision.
We have an expanding range of online courses designed to fit your lifestyle – no need to make extra time for extended study as our online workshops will integrate easily into your daily routine.
If you’re traveling to Thailand come and meet us in person so we can tailor a workshop to your skill level and share our passion for photography with you.

We have designed our photo workshops to give you a genuine experience of the city (and surrounds,) while looking to avoid most of the very touristic locations. Signing up for one of our workshops will give you the opportunity learn with our team and take the mystery out of your camera, providing you a greater freedom to enjoy the art of photography.
