Take your photography to the next level - fast
Learning photography is a great adventure. But at times the journey can be a little overwhelming.
So whether you’ve just purchased your first DSLR and want to learn the basics or are looking to upgrade your skills, my Fundamentals of Photography course will help you overcome your sticking points and take your photography to the next level fast.
Hello & Welcome :)
Hi, I’m Robin Stanley, a professional photographer who provides photography and video services for world-class brands including Starbucks, Nickelodeon, Harper’s Bazaar, and British Airways.
I started my photographic journey in the year 2000, as a photojournalist taking pictures in far-flung and occasionally dangerous places. These included covering the removal of landmines in post-war Kosovo and football hooliganism at Euro 2000, with my work receiving critical acclaim from awarding bodies.
Portrait photography is one of my great passions and my pictures have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery as part of the Schweppes Photographic Portrait Prize.
You can see a couple of my images below.

1-to-1 Learning With a Pro
When I’m not busy working on commercial projects I love teaching photography.
As a 100% self-taught photographer I fully understand the technical and creative challenges that face anyone wanting to improve their photographs.
I’ve worked with hundreds of students and I still get a real kick from seeing them gain technical confidence and begin developing their own distinct style.
One-to-one classes allow me to personalise your lessons to fit your goals, focusing on the areas that are most important to you.
I will encourage you to push yourself out of your creative comfort zone, to learn the rules - then break them.
