Photography Workshops & Mentoring in Thanet

I am a professional female photographer in Thanet with over 25 years of experience in photojournalism, documentary photography, and portrait photography. As a Senior Lecturer in Photography at the University of Arts Mongolia, I have taught numerous photography workshops and courses, helping students from all walks of life develop their visual storytelling skills. I love seeing my students embrace visual language to find their own unique voices.

My hands-on photography workshops in Thanet will equip you with all the technical knowledge needed to explore your creativity and develop your way of seeing the world. In a safe and supportive environment, we will playfully discover what makes a striking image, focusing on perspective, light, framing, and the power of storytelling photography.

By the end of the course, you will feel confident and natural with your camera, using it to create powerful and engaging images while refining your visual style. Whether you’re interested in documentary photography, portraiture, or storytelling through images, these courses will help you unlock your creative potential.
