Hampshire School of Photography

I’ve just finished the HSP Masterclass year long course and it has helped me to become a better, more visually aware and technically competent photographer.The class and practical based approach is absolutely perfect, laying down foundations and then asking you to put these into practical use thus gaining knowledge, experience and above all confidence.Kevin Ahronson is a professional photographer and an excellent communicator. Above all he is an infectious enthusiast and it is this quality which drives him and gives the classes their unique appeal and quality.Highly recommend.

Following my retirement in sept 21 I have literally dived headlong into photography investing heavily in courses at the Hampshire School of Photography.It started with the Masterclass, an in depth introduction to the theory and the technical aspects of photography. Assignments are appropriately set to stretch your technical skills over 10 sessions.Before finishing the Masterclass I enrolled on the Inner Circle which stretches your creativity and makes you more rounded through a series of tailored assignment and subsequent class critique sessions which is incredibly useful in gaining an understanding of what makes a great photograph. I am still on the inner circle and in parallel I have done the more in depth flash, landscape and macro courses and am currently awaiting the face workshop.Kevin Ahronson is a superb photographer with an encyclopaedic knowledge of photography. His ability to explain even the most complex aspects is first class and I am watching students growing their skills and knowledge as they progress.I am now taking photographs I could only dream of a year ago. I have progressed from happy snapper to accomplished amateur and I am getting highly positive reviews from even professional photographers.I am extremely delighted with HSP and in particular Kevin’s coaching and can highly recommend him with confidence.Thank youKevin

I opted for the private lessons with Kevin due to my time schedule and I found these 1-1 lessons incredible value for money and incredible valuable in terms of information. I hadn't used my camera in about 6 years as I just had no idea how or where to start. Kevin has shared the information I need and guided me along to feel confident using different camera settings and confident in practicing. His instruction was clear, calm and lighthearted. Come with high recommendations from me!

I have recently finished my one years 1:1 apprenticeship with Kevin. After buying my camera at the beginning of last year and deciding that I wanted to take on photography as a career, I wanted to learn how to use it properly. From kevin's course not only did I learn how to use my camera but I learnt how to become a photographer and how to use my creative eye to apply to my shots.I would recommend joining one of kevin's course as he is a great teacher and really easy to get on with. He loves what he does and brings out the best in his students.Thank you Kevin x

My Step Dad and I completed a one year mentoring course with Kevin and I could not recommend him enough! We both learnt so much and feel we have grown into proper photographers rather than people that just own a decent camera and takes snaps. We had lots of fun along the way, Kevin is a great teacher and photographer!

Wanted to drop a line about how much I enjoyed and benefited from the Lightroom Mastery session last weekend.It was well structured and responsive to the course members, making it an enjoyable and valuable experience.Already feeling more comfortable and creative with the facilities covered and would suggest that anyone tempted by the sessions planned for November should take the plunge. Go for it.

1 Day - Lightroom Course - Great session covering the Basics of Lightroom for Photography. The course was well structured and covered lots of points that I personally needed clarification on as I missed the Lightroom session during my masterclass course.As the student ratio was small there was plenty of time for Kevin to observe each student. He adjusted the pace of the course to suit the students and ensured they fully understood each section of the session by conducting confirmation exercises before moving on.After completing the course I felt confident enough to go away and start putting all that I had covered into practice straight away. In fact I enjoyed it so much that my camera has taken a back seat whilst I adjust some old photos! It great being able to use simple adjustments to enhance my photos. Well worth the money.Oh and not to forget Linda's cakes they were yummy and plentiful!

Excellent photographer and teacher, however Masterclass is only 10 lessons on a Sunday 11am - 2pm, which for the cost is disappointing ( class of around 8) . There is very little/no practical sessions. I would have expected at least 10 am - 4pm which could have included much more practical/field activity. This is a new venture, so I guess they will learn from their feedback.

Had the Introduction to Photography one day course as a birthday present.It doesn't take very long to realise Kevin is a professional with pedigree.He has a great style and after this course, I now understand what my camera can do for me!!Highly recommended.

Before I attended HSP I was a truly novice photographer. I always used the point and shoot" modes on the camera. ie. the camera took care of all the exposure settings for me. I shot mostly landscapes and was generally disappointed with the results as they did not seem to reflect what I thought I was actually seeing.I have always had a long term wish that
