Phones, Files & Libraries

For older or busy makers — get your phone, your files, and your photo library to finally make sense.

Why learn with us

• Pro instructors, named and local: Every session is taught by Kirsty and Jason themselves — working professional photographers, not a rota of tutors. You learn from the two people whose work hangs in the gallery.

• Genuinely one-to-one: No two photographers are alike, so no two sessions are. We tailor every minute to what you want to get better at — you set the pace, we keep up.

• A beautiful place to practise: Based in Devon, with the Dart, the moors, and the coast a short walk away. Learn the theory, then put it straight to use on real Devon scenery.

• Around your schedule: Weekdays or weekends, mornings or afternoons. Book in a way that fits your life, and usually within the next two weeks.

Honest about what we teach

You learn from us directly — Kirsty and Jason Browning, professional photographers with 20+ years behind the camera and a real passion for teaching. We share camera settings, composition, and post-processing the way we actually use them.

Most of our students aren't aspiring photographers — they're older or busy makers who want their phones, files, and photo libraries to make sense. We teach that, plus Lightroom, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, and field photography when there's appetite. The aspiration is more field workshops — walking the shoreline of the Dart with two students and tripods. We're building toward that.
