Junior Photography Foundation Programme (Ages 11–18) 1:1 Foundation Programme

from £595.00

PH-ART-ED Junior Photography Foundation Programme — 1:1

A structured, hands-on photography course teaching real camera skills, creative confidence, and professional foundations — finishing with a framed photograph and certificate.

Ages 11–18 | 6 Sessions | 12 Hours Total

This Is Not a Workshop.

It’s a Personal Photography Programme Designed to Build Real Skill, Confidence, and Focus.

Most photography workshops for young people last a few hours.
They’re fun. They’re social. They’re forgotten.

The PHARTED Junior Photography Foundation Programme is a six-session, one-to-one mentorship programmedesigned for young people who want to properly understand photography — not just try it once.

Over twelve structured hours, your child is guided from camera confusion to creative confidence, finishing with a framed photograph and a certificate of completion.

Flexible Location — Your Choice

This programme can be delivered:

  • From my dedicated home-based training studio, or

  • In your own home, depending on location and preference

Both options offer the same structured programme, outcomes, and level of support.

If sessions are delivered at your home, a small additional travel charge may apply depending on distance. This will always be discussed and agreed in advance — no surprises.

Why One-to-One Works

One-to-one delivery allows:

  • Teaching paced entirely to your child

  • Calm, focused learning without pressure

  • Immediate feedback and reassurance

  • Faster skill development and confidence.

This programme is not hourly tutoring.
It’s a complete learning journey with clear outcomes.

What Your Child Will Learn

Camera Control & Manual Mode

Your child will learn how a camera actually works, including:

  • Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO

  • Focus, stability, and camera handling

  • Making exposure decisions intentionally.

Manual mode is introduced from the very first session.

Practical Photography in Real Environments

Across multiple sessions, your child will:

  • Work with natural light

  • Learn composition and framing

  • Photograph people, movement, and environments

  • Shoot with purpose rather than guesswork.

Learning happens by doing — not watching.

Editing, Selection & Presentation

In the final sessions, your child will learn:

  • How to edit photographs with restraint

  • Why certain images work better than others

  • How to select their strongest image

  • How to prepare it correctly for print.

They finish the programme with a professionally printed and framed photograph they can be proud of.

How This Differs From Workshops

Workshops

  • One-off sessions

  • Limited progression

  • No finished outcome

  • Ongoing progress.

PHARTED Foundation Programme

  • Six structured sessions

  • Twelve hours of private mentorship

  • Coverage of the whole photographic process

  • Progressive learning and reinforcement

  • Editing and presentation included

  • Framed print and certificate of completion.

This level of depth simply isn’t possible in a single workshop.

What Your Child Takes Away

By the end of the programme, your child leaves with:

  • Confident use of manual camera settings

  • A clear understanding of light and composition

  • Storytelling and visual skills that last a lifetime

  • Editing skills they can continue independently

  • A framed photographic print

  • A certificate of completion

  • Increased creative confidence

Parents regularly comment on the confidence boost as much as the skills learned.

Who This Programme Is For

This programme is ideal for:

  • Young people aged 11–18

  • Beginners or those feeling unsure or stuck

  • Creative learners who struggle in group environments

  • Students considering photography, media, or creative subjects

  • Parents seeking proper learning, not just an activity

No previous experience is required — just curiosity and commitment.

Pricing & Commitment

£595 — All inclusive

Includes:

  • Six private sessions (2 hours each)

  • Twelve hours of one-to-one mentorship

  • All learning materials

  • Professional printing and framing

  • Certificate of completion

If delivered at your home, a small additional travel charge may apply, depending on distance.

Places are limited due to one-to-one delivery.

Camera Requirement & Hire Option

Students will need access to a camera for the four practical shooting sessions.

If your child does not currently have a suitable camera, camera hire is available for £100, covering all four practical sessions.

This ensures:

  • Consistent equipment throughout the programme

  • No need to purchase gear upfront

  • Learning remains focused on skills, not hardware

Camera hire will be confirmed at booking and allocated for the duration of the practical sessions only.

Safeguarding & Reassurance

See our safeguarding policy attached to additional info.

  • Clear drop-off and collection arrangements

  • Parent/guardian welcome to remain present

  • Enhanced DBS available upon request

  • Calm, structured, supportive learning environment

Your child’s safety and wellbeing are always the priority.
