Westland Place Studios

Great experience. Tutor was amazing.

The last independent art studios still running in Shoreditch. Almost 30 years on and somehow this artists community has managed to resist the rampant property development surrounding it. Look out for open studio public events and a great arts education program including photography and digital design. A hidden gem.

Discovered this place when I attended a virgin experience day (London creative photography course) and had a fantastic time. The masterclass started with a presentation on the various modes of a camera, how to change the parameters. Then we went out and implemented what we had been taught. Had a great time and definitely improved my photo skills. Will sign up for more workshops!

Went here for a virgin experience day photography class. Was great fun! First half was theory and the second half we got to go out and practice our skills. The session had 6 people in a class so you do still get the undivided attention. A few people came with standard cameras and a bridge camera which didn't have a lot of the functionality that was covered so you do really need a DSLR. The picture I've added is from the class, I took it myself so you can judge from that if I learnt much or no...
