Information About Colin:

Personal Description:

I left teaching about 3 years ago after establishing and running the A Level course, which had up to 80 students at any one time, for 10 years. I'm married and we have recently moved from London to Piddinghoe, just outside Peacehaven, 6 miles from Lewes and Brighton. I have started a return to taking photographs for myself now that I don't spend every working hour encouraging and inspiring others in a full time job. I prefer to use the skills I have to work with individuals or small groups. I love the medium and love helping others to appreciate what it is and what it can do... and how they too can enjoy it.

Teaching Experience:

10 years as Course Leader in A Level Photography for the LaSWAP 6th Form Consortium, based in Parliament Hill School, Camden, London.

2 years running an adult evening class.

Tutoring Approach:

The first session would be just a chat to see where you are and what you hope to get out of this. I am not a technical whizz and won't bombard you with too much jargon, although I have a fair knowledge of both digital and 'traditional' methods - I don't emphasise this side of things except as a means to an end. But sometimes you really are better off knowing your aperture and speed controls and what the camera can do when it's not on automatic - it allows you more control, more creativity and more possibilities. We can take things at your pace as necessary, depending on what you want to achieve. The emphasis must be on enjoyment otherwise it becomes a chore. I would hope that your interests would lead us: if you like sport, let's learn about photography by photographing that, if it's gardening, well let's see what grows out of that!

Qualifications:

• 3 year Diploma in Professional Photography.
• Qualified teacher
