Photography Courses Coming Soon


Learn to see photography differently.

My upcoming photography courses will take you beyond camera settings and technical skills. 

You’ll develop a stronger understanding of how photographs are made, why certain images work, and how photography shapes how we see people, places, and everyday life.

Courses will explore:

  • Photography skills, techniques and creative approaches
  • Different photographic genres and their traditions
  • Composition, light, colour, perspective and visual storytelling
  • What to photograph, what to leave unphotographed, and why
  • The relationship between photographer, subject and viewer
  • How spaces and places influence the way you feel and what you see
  • Theories and ideas behind photography
  • Developing your own photographic style and way of seeing


Whether you’re picking up a camera for the first time or looking to develop your existing practice, these courses will give you practical skills alongside ideas to help you think more deeply about your photographs.

Coming soon. Sign up for updates and be the first to know when the courses are available.

Thank You

Mark Stothard MA BA (Hons) FdA ARPS NPS

Multi award-winning qualified photographer and educator

Hello, I’m Mark,

I’ve been photographing the world around me since the mid-1980s, working with businesses, media agencies, publishers and organisations to create photography for print and commercial use.

Alongside my professional practice, I’ve developed an academic interest in photography. I hold a Master of Arts in Photography, a BA (Hons) in Photography and an FdA in Media Production. My professional achievements also include Associate and Licentiate distinctions from the Royal Photographic Society, as well as other photography awards.

My current practice brings together photography, research and critical thinking. I’m particularly interested in posthumanism, psychogeography and affect theory, exploring how photography shapes our relationship with people, places, spaces and the environments around us.

Today, I share my experience as an Audio and Visual Practitioner through mentoring, workshops, creative adventures, guest supervision and talks for universities, colleges and camera clubs.

My aim is to help people develop their photography while encouraging them to look more closely, think differently and find their own way of seeing.
