You'll receive excellent tips and will come out of this class with new found skills to begin to creatively design and create photos that look like you want them to look.

Your Intructor

" I found my first class at Burwell Photography School to be excellent. The instructor was fabulous and really taught us a lot in a 6 hour sit down class without it ever being boring or too much information. The handouts were amazing and meant that you took the whole class home with you to review and refer back too. The food provided was great and made the day so relaxing. Very well organized! I will certainly take more classes in the future! " - Sarah B.
