Welcome to Photo Opportunity

For the last 13 years we have been running short intensive Digital Photography courses for all levels of ability and interest.

All courses are given by Chris Bell MA (RCA) who has over 30 years experience in the world of professional photography. Courses are based at his Photographic Studio in Richmond, but much of the general photographic work is carried out at nearby locations, such as Richmond Park, nearby Ham House and the Thameside towpaths, offering exciting  and stunning scenery.

At this time of the year the Deer are rutting in the park, which makes for exciting wildlife photography

Dickson House

After running courses for the last thirteen years from our studio in Camden Town, Photo Opportunity is now established in Richmond, South West London. Being just 100 yards from Richmond Park it offers the opportunity to take stunning nature and wildlife shots just a short walk from the new studio.

"Did an all-day beginners course here. It was great! I learned so much, was able to try out different lenses, take really nice photos and Chris was an excellent instructor who made it a really great day. Highly recommended".Christine M London

"Just a quick note of thanks for the weekend's 'training'. Normally I hate going on courses - but I can't believe how much I learnt in such a short space of time!
Really appreciated the quality tuition and I'm sure I'll be back in the near future to learn about other things now I can hold the camera properly!!" RH Harrietsham Kent

Upcoming courses

For 2015 we are running courses to order. Rather than tie people down to arbitrary dates set at the beginning of the year, simply choose a day or days which suit you and call or email to confirm. Fees will remain the same as for 2014. If more than one person wants the same day then we will have a small group, if there are no other takers then a one to one course will still run for the same price. Hopefully this is a more flexible and convenient arrangement for everyone.
