What makes FUJIFILM School courses different from others?

If you’re wondering what sets our courses and classes apart from others, here’s everything you need to know about how we work in our London photography studio.

1. Gain knowledge of the latest photography hardware and software

We’re honoured to offer an unparalleled opportunity for budding photographers like yourself. We aim to help you experience the world of cutting-edge photography technology in an accessible way. As such, our courses are designed to familiarise you with the FUJIFILM cameras and lenses you bring along with you, ensuring you're up to date with the tools of the trade. 

From mastering the functionalities of X Series and GFX cameras, our hands-on approach allows you to experience the full potential of our modern photography equipment — all under the watchful eye of our FUJIFILM specialists for help if you need it.

2. Feel inspired by our professional photography teachers and specialists

Learning from seasoned professionals is just one of the benefits of our photography courses. Our product specialists are not just teachers — they're active photographers with years of experience capturing breathtaking images across various genres. 

They bring real-world insights, stories of their photographic journeys, and a passion for the art that is truly infectious. Our goal is for you to leave our photography course feeling inspired. 

3. Improve and test your camera techniques in new environments

Photography is a practical art, so it only makes sense that we believe in the power of practical experience. Our courses offer opportunities for you to take the technical demonstrations from the course about aperture and shutter speed and put them into practice.

For example, our beginner's photography course and intermediate photography course are both 70% theory-based and the rest of the schedule is moulded around practical demonstrations. This blended approach ensures that you gain the all-round confidence and versatility needed to craft showstopping images. As you can see, the skills you learn with us will undoubtedly extend for a long time after the course finishes!

4. Learn technical skills for your photography

Technical skills form the backbone of professional photography — and our photography courses are meticulously designed to enhance your understanding of these technical photography aspects. From the basics of exposure, composition, and lighting to more technical aspects like long exposure, HDR, and macro photography, we like to cover a broad spectrum of topics. 

We also delve a little into post-processing, teaching you how to use software to edit and perfect your images. With this comprehensive technical training, we hope to empower you to take control of your photography process — from the moment of capture to the final edit.

5. Network with other like-minded photographers

What’s one of the most significant yet underrated benefits of enrolling in a photography course? It’s the opportunity to connect with a community of like-minded photographers. 

The FUJIFILM School creates a collaborative environment where students can share ideas, experiences, and feedback in a safe and supportive way. 

Networking with fellow photographers can open up avenues for collaboration, offer fresh perspectives, and foster friendships built on a shared passion for photography.
