Join our creative community of online photography and editing lessons. Learning is better together with White Oak Studios.
I am delighted to welcome you to the White Oak Studios website where I am building a photographic organisation that bustles with friendly creativity; we are already a supportive community and look forward to opening our arms to many more members. If you love photography or are looking to find out more of the many reasons there are to fall in love with photography there is something for you here.
It has been estimated that in 2020 1,436,300,000,000 photographs were taken- unbelievable! Whether you are feeling inspired to pick up a ‘proper’ camera for the first time or are looking for ways to help your work stand out from such a packed crowd this website is a great place to start. I see the anxiety that photographers (both hobbyists or those hoping to develop professionally) feel in the face of so much competition; I see the confusion caused by the wealth of, often conflicting, information out there in books, videos and troll filled comments sections online and I am offering an alternative.
My carefully curated, down to earth courses gather like minded people together and give step by step guidance through all the need to know information. Working as a group we share ideas and offer support; talking, explaining and normally laughing together along the way. More important even than imparting the specifics of cameras or settings is the chance as a tutor to light a creative spark, one of my most favourite things to hear at the end of a course is how the activities have encouraged the learners to see the world differently. Photography has such power to observe and to question and to celebrate the world around us perhaps I should not be surprised about the 1.4 trillion photos after all.

Here are just some reviews from our learners:
"Having achieved my NCFE level 2 photography with Chris as the tutor, I was very struck with her relaxed teaching methods. She led the class with skill, patience and understanding, guiding her students and allowing them to achieve the skills and experience needed to further their own personal goals at the same time as reaching a level of competence." |
“I do want to thank you so very much for your course delivery, your teaching material was very clear and your demonstrations were so easy to follow… I am so very grateful to have been involved in your course and to now have new things to learn into the future.“ |
We can guide you through editing your photos...
