June 5th-8th - Istanbul, Turkey
Course: Istanbul Photography Weekend
This trip is in association with Wanderlust magazine. Discover the city that everyone is talking about, an intoxicating blend of East and West, medieval and modern, of exquisite mosques and trendy restaurants, in the most dramatic harbour setting in Europe. With Wanderlust founder Lyn Hughes as one of the tutors this will be a great opportunity to develop your photographic skills and to learn what editors really want. >> more info

November 3rd-5th - London

Course: Travel Photography for Books
This unique three-day course in London is an inspiring exploration of the big photographic project – the extended suite of pictures suitable for publication as a large-format book or an exhibition. Within that framework, the masterclass leads you through the higher ranges of creative and technical skills. It begins by looking at how to create top-quality travel shots, then expands on the challenges of generating project concepts and selling them to publishers. >> more info
