Good all-rounders needed to teach Digital Photogarphy

digitalbeginner

Due to many requests from people outside Dublin we're looking to expand our courses for Beginners and Improvers Digital Photography to different parts of Ireland. We would like to get in contact with Digital Photographers who feel they are up to the task. Knowledge of film photography is NOT required.

We supply the notes, book the hotels, advertise the courses etc, all you have to do is bring your experience of digital photography to novice users. Experience of teaching is helpful, but a willing and open manner is more important.

Send me an email if you think this is something you'd like to do.

Many thanks to all those who emailed me directly from my post. It looks like we'll be able to expand into other areas of the country by October (and kindly ignore the typo in the headline).

However, I'm still looking for someone in Galway who might be interested in teaching a well rounded digital photography syllabus.

At the moment we are only looking for People to teach a couple of specific photography courses as follows:
Beginners - aimed at the complete novice http://www.digitalbeginners.ie/digitalbeginnersnight.htm
Improvers - aimed at those with a basic knowledge of photography (and usually have an SLR/Bridge SLR of some sort) http://www.digitalbeginners.ie/digitalimproversnight.htm.

Why not check out our course modules and see if these are areas you could handle questions and answers from. You might be surprised at how much you know. To help the lecturer Illustrated lecture notes form the core of each class, http://www.digitalbeginners.ie/samplehandout.htm but an ability to field questions from a wide range of photography is also important. An understanding of compact cameras and SLR digital cameras is important too.

Our concept is based on going to the customer, or at least as close as possible, to minimise their travel time. So courses in or near city centres is what we're aiming for.

i might actually do the Improvers course at the Kingston -- i could do with some improvements
I should have an SLR by then , and as i am new the course might benefit my new pursuit !
I think the Kingston is the old Victor hotel on Rochestown Ave. , Dun Laoghaire ?

Hi 'thebaz'

you can see a map of the Kingston here

It's on the seafront in Dun Laoghaire.

Conversations with some of those who responded to my request for Photography Teachers believe that Dublin could well support more classes than I can give personally come October.

(btw interest so far from photographers in Galway, Limerick, Cork, Waterford and Belfast)

Are there any Dublin based photographers interested in teaching a structured course with all the bits supplied? (Insurance, projector, printed notes, hotel bookings etc)
