Photography Courses with Award Winning Leicester Mercury Press Photographer & College Tutor - Glen Tillyard.
Our jargon-free courses are limited to six students and will suit everyone from the complete novice to the intermediate photographer. Training takes place in the picturesque village of Smeeton Westerby in beautiful rural Leicestershire and run from 9-30am to 5pm. They are suitable for Digital SLRs, Mirrorless EVF Cameras and Bridge or Hybrid Cameras.
As a professional press photographer, I have to get the best picture, in the shortest possible time, every time and this is what I will teach you on each of our 20 plus courses. As a college tutor, I know that every student has a different learning style so our courses cater for every learning type.

Had a fantastic weekend learning beginner and portrait photography with Glen. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of photography. He is also able to explain techniques and camera settings in very simple and memorable terms so at the end of the day you are producing professional looking photographs yourself. I really hope to do more courses with Glen in future. All other students on the portrait course were returning students that had done previous courses with Glen!

I bought a DSLR camera a few years ago, and like most people, believed all I need was to leave it on 'Auto' and snap away. Feeling I need more from this investment, I sought out some tuition and hit lucky. In a relaxed environment, and a well-placed and friendly style, Glen opened my eyes to a new world. That journey continues to this day, Glen has sought me how take photographs that I am proud of. Whatever you want from a photography cause, Glen will teach you so much more. Recommended without reservation.

Whenever I see a friend or colleague using their expensive digital camera in auto mode I recommend Glen to them. In the space of the day I went from thinking I knew how to use my camera to really understanding the techniques behind getting some great shots. Small group sizes mean Glen has time to spend on you, a lovely location great for taking pictures and the satisfaction that you're really using your camera to the best of it's and your abilities. Would not hesitate to recommend Glen and DPC.

Found this as a result of a Google search, was looking to get my camera off the automatic setting. I was impressed by the website and thought that it'd be worth the trip down from Liverpool for the day, small group, well taught with a practical session, nice friendly people, and great support, it really is the 'group that keeps on giving!' Have done most, if not all, of the courses now. Loved every one. Glen is really good at getting things across and I learnt more in one day than I believed possible. Excellent find!

Well I started with Glen say about nearly 9 or 10 years ago with a new camera. Started with the basic course & yes he got me hooked. Changed to another camera, bought more lens. Also did many more of his courses. Loved the way he taught, easy & didn’t rush you through things. I have now so much enjoyment out of my camera & no more auto settings. Thanks Glen. X. Also thanks to Jacqui for lovely lunches & warm welcome from Misty.

I attended Glen's beginner's photography course earlier this year and it was truly inspirational! For the first time I was able to move from the automatic setting on my camera and have confidence in experimenting with my photo taking. I am definitely going to book onto more courses! Debbie Burke

I have completed four courses with Glen, two editing and two with the camera. At all times his approach has been friendly with clear explanation and endless patience. The days are interesting and fun and I shall certainly be doing some more, as well as recommending others to learn from him.

Highly recommended. Glen's skill and experience is obvious and his passion is infectious. We went to learn product photography for work. I arrived with no interest in photography beyond the need to learn for work, and left with enthusiasm to continue learning. The course was exactly what we were looking for and had been tailored to our needs. We learned everything we needed to know and more. The teaching was delivered excellently and was paced well. The course was engaging and very enjoyable. We travelled from Devon to attend and plan to go back at some point in the future. It was well worth the trip.

Having now done several courses with Glen. I would highly recommend all his courses from beginners to the more advanced ones, they are all excellent and are taught at a pace that suits everyone. Glen is so knowledgeable with every course well-structured and interactive in an easy informal way.
