If you want to capture stunning dusk or night-time cityscapes then our Night Photography courses are for you.

Do I need my own camera?

This course requires a mirrorless camera, a DSLR camera or a compact camera with full manual controls - ideally with a lens that can achieve wide angles. A tripod is also necessary. If you do not have access to any of these, we can provide you with a camera and tripod.

In addition we recommend bringing your camera’s manual, fully charged battery, and a spare battery if possible, an empty memory card and comfortable shoes

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
