iPhone photography and videography training – 1:1 and small groups

I am now taking bookings for iPhone (or Android) photography and videography training.

In addition to learning how to master your phones technical features, the training can also look at improving the appearance of your pictures covering topics such as composition, viewpoint and framing for a range of different subject types.

Small group training is ideal for staff development, improving images for social media campaigns and as a creative activity for groups and clubs. One to one training can be for up-skilling individual team members or for personal interest or improving photographic skills before a major event.

Training can be delivered online or in person and is always tailored to meet the attendees interests and ability. Training can be delivered weekdays, evenings and some weekends. For more information, please contact mail@nigelgoldsmith.co.uk

Camera-less photography and mobile pinhole workshops and training

Camera-less and pinhole photography workshop

It is possible to produce photographs without the need for a camera. The workshop explores the purest form of photography, recording the unrepeatable shadows and reflections of light rays captured in a darkroom and resulting unique and ‘one-off’ images. This workshop explores photograms, luminograms, water-grams, cyanotypes, paper negatives and other experimental analogue photographic techniques. The results are unique, original and impossible to repeat.

The workshop welcomes anyone who wants to explore analogue photography in its purest form or learn the basic principles of photography and its continued relevance in a world dominated by digital imaging.

You can combine this workshop with a pinhole photography workshop. To deliver the session effectively I normally need an existing darkroom or a room which can be adapted reasonably easily (no windows etc). Alternatively, I can bring my own portable darkroom and equipment which is fine for smaller groups.

Darkroom options

This workshop can be delivered to small groups on site using an existing darkroom or, I can bring a compact and temporary portable darkroom. The workshop can be delivered on-site anywhere in the UK or in my small darkroom near Bath in the UK. All I require to run this workshop on-site is a 240V mains socket and a nearby sink.

Prices for the camera-less photography workshop start at £425 per day for up to 4 attendees.

Analogue film photography and darkroom workshops – in-person

Darkroom training workshop – film developing, printing and alternative processes

Workshop overview

If you do not have a darkroom but would like to learn the basics or introduce your students to analogue photography I can set up a small temporary darkroom in your home, classroom or office.

‘We had Nigel come into school for a day to train myself and another colleague in darkroom photography, to enable us to be confident enough in teaching both GCSE and A-level students the same skills after our photography specialist is no longer able to teach. The day was jam packed and we both learnt a lot about various parts of traditional darkroom photography, the developing process, pin hole cameras, photograms and luminograms. Emma Hart, Sandy Secondary School, Bedfordshire

Workshop content

I can help you with;

  • Setting up a darkroom of your own or reviving an old darkroom that has been unused for a while.
  • If you do not have a darkroom or any of the equipment, I can bring a portable darkroom along with all of the equipment and materials to your home or workplace. All I will need is electricity and a sink.
  • Providing an introduction to cameraless photography, pinhole photography, photograms, water grams, cyanotypes and luminograms.
  • Introduction to black and white film photography, cyanotype printing, staining cyanotypes, film processing, printing and advanced and experimental printing techniques.
  • If you would like to introduce film (analogue photography) into your GCSE / A level / BTEC programme but do not have the knowledge or facilities, I can help you to address common problems encountered by students with film photography and help you to embed the media into a curriculum.

Prices start at £435 for a day of onsite training. Follow this link for more information about film (analogue) and darkroom workshops and consultancy services.

Film processing

Getting black and white film processed by an external company can be time consuming and very expensive considering the cost of the chemistry. Processing your own black and white film is quite easy, and can save a lot of money. I normally explain all of the stages from loading a film processing tank, testing chemicals, processing film, and highlight common pitfalls and explain how these can be avoided.

Darkroom techniques

I cover a wide range of traditional darkroom techniques including; contact printing your negatives, test prints, making your first print, adjusting contrast, dodging and burning. During a darkroom training workshop, I can also introduce a variety of camera less photographic techniques such as’ photograms and cyanotypes.
