Suitable for all ages, under 16’s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

 

About Andy Francis:

Since 2009 I have been a passionate photographer now based here in North Devon.

Being a member of a local camera club has enabled me to obtain two distinctions, one with the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain and the other with The British Photographic Exhibitions.

I am always mentoring new members at our camera club and strongly believe in giving as much support as I can to anyone new to photography. 

The beauty of photography lies not only in the final image but also in the journey of capturing it.

Every shot you take is an opportunity for growth, learning, and self-expression.

 

If a workshop you'd like to do is fully booked ring Box Office (01805 624624) to be added to the waiting list, you might be lucky! This also helps us ascertain the demand for particular workshops when programming. 

Running time 120 minutes
