Photography Courses with Award Winning Leicester Mercury Press Photographer & College Tutor - Glen Tillyard.
As a professional press photographer we have to get the best picture, in the shortest possible time, every time.
This is what we will teach you on every one of our 20 plus photography courses.
As a college tutor I know that different students have different learning styles so why would you choose to have photography lessons from a cheap photographer or shop assistant?
Our jargon free courses are limited to six students and will suit everyone from the complete novice to the intermediate photographer. Training takes place in the picturesque village of Smeeton Westerby in beautiful rural Leicestershire and run from 9-30am to 5pm.
They are suitable for Digital SLRs, Mirrorless EVF Cameras and Bridge or Hybrid Cameras.
The Beginners Photography Course includes a free pocket guide to landscape, portrait and action photography.

Excellent courses, clearly presented, lots of practical tips and advice that you can take away and use. I can highly recommend Glen as I have been on a number of courses and have never been disappointed.

11/21/2019 - I have completed four courses with Glen, two editing and two with the camera. At all times his approach has been friendly with clear explanation and endless patience. The days are interesting and fun and I shall certainly be doing some more, as well as recommending others to learn from him.

8/21/2019 - I attended the beginners course yesterday and had a brilliant time. Glen is an excellent teacher I was impressed with his easy manner in putting across the salient points. The practical session in a lovely setting reinforced this learning and I was bitten. Without a doubt a first class course which I recommend to anyone you will be impressed. I am already booking further courses on my journey. Thanks Glen.

8/11/2019 - Had a fantastic weekend learning beginner and portrait photography with Glen. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of photography. He is also able to explain techniques and camera settings in very simple and memorable terms so at the end of the day you are producing professional looking photographs yourself. I really hope to do more courses with Glen in future. All other students on the portrait course were returning students that had done previous courses with Glen!

8/13/2019 - Found this as a result of a Google search, was looking to get my camera off the automatic setting. I was impressed by the website and thought that it'd be worth the trip down from Liverpool for the day, small group, well taught with a practical session, nice friendly people, and great support, it really is the 'group that keeps on giving!' Have done most, if not all, of the courses now. Loved every one. Glen is really good at getting things across and I learnt more in one day than I believed possible.
Excellent find!

Lightroom Course

Lightroom has become so powerful over the last few years that many photographers rarely need to jump into Photoshop. It can import, file, sort, keyword, caption and edit your RAW files then export them in a range of sized with or without watermarks. If you are an intermediate photographer who likes editing landscapes then this is the course for you.

The low-light and night time photography course will show you how to take pictures at indoors in low light plus pictures at night without using your flash. Your own tripod would be helpful but we do have a couple of spares.

8/21/2019 - Well I started with Glen say about nearly 9 or 10 years ago with a new camera. Started with the basic course & yes he got me hooked. Changed to another camera, bought more lens. Also did many more of his courses. Loved the way he taught, easy & didn’t rush you through things. I have now so much enjoyment out of my camera & no more auto settings. Thanks Glen. X. Also thanks to Jacqui for lovely lunches & warm welcome from Misty.

Glen is so knowledgeable with every course well-structured and interactive in an easy informal way.

Previous providers of these courses have spent far too much time on unnecessary camera settings and constant adjustments. This course is so much more practical and I learnt a huge amount. I would highly recommend anyone interested in photography to get on one of these courses and you will surprise yourself how quickly your photographs improve. Glen’s a great tutor who delivered the course content in an easy to understand and relaxed manner.

I’m on an Art Foundation course at Loughborough University and since attending Glen’s beginners course I feel my photography has improved greatly and I am much more confident at altering my camera setting quickly. My tutors said that my photographs were as good the third year fine art degree students! I look forward to attending another one of your courses over the summer. Annie.

I loved everything about this course. Glen was very patient and was always willing to answer the dumbest questions. I thoroughly enjoyed putting the theory into practice during the practical sessions. The course also had nice food in comfortable surroundings in a delightful village. Thank you to Glen and Jacqui.
