Who we are...

White Oak Studios is run by me, Christine, with help from my husband Ian.  We live in beautiful Northumberland with our dog Lexi. I have nearly two decades of experience shooting commercially and my passion for the artist side of the genre culminated in the completion of a masters in Photography Visual Communication.  I am a fully qualified teacher with over ten years experience. 

What people think...

We are rated 5/5 on Google.
​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.“
