Professional Photography Training

With over 10 years experience as a professional photographer, alongside owning a range of successful businesses, I often get asked for advice about how others can grow and develop. I host a range of courses both online and in person sharing my knowledge and expertise with those looking to develop and build their own success. A combination of both online and in person courses are available throughout the year, each focussing on a range of subjects relating to photography. All courses are carried out in a relaxed and informal way to help encourage attendees to ask questions and be involved throughout.

Please email luke@lukegranger.co.uk if you have any questions. 1:1 sessions are available on request.

Training Courses

2 Day Property Masterclass

Next course expected September 2023, get in touch to register your interest. Expected cost is £500 for both days.

 

During this 2 day workshop you will learn everything required to shoot stunning photographs, film amazing videos, create floorplans and 360 tours, use drones in congested locations and approach and sell your services to estate agents, property developers, landlords and many more industries you probably don't yet know about.


Property is one area of photography where photographers consistently under estimate the skills required to be successful. Success is built on strong foundations and a good understanding of the industry you wish to be a part of. I have been creating content for estate agents, landlords, holiday lets and property developers for over 10 years, I have work in the industry starting as a trainee estate agents working my way up to a Branch Manager and Marketing Director at one of the biggest agents in south east London. I made the leap into full time photography in 2017. Understanding what is required from the 'Estate Agent' point of view is critical to providing a product that is both fit for purpose and saleable. 

 

The course locations are always stunning, we use very large detached properties, well worthy of being in your portfolio.

Drone flights/permission from neighbours etc is not an issue so we will use both ground and aerial equipment to capture the property in all its beauty.


Refreshments and Lunch are provided on both days and there is an option to add accommodation and stay in the property (as long as you keep your room tidy as we will be filming both days).


Planned Itinerary


Day One.

Breakfast will be available from 9am.

We will start at 10am, we will be shooting both inside and outside, and both stills and video during the morning light. I will demonstrate my shooting process and discuss using natural light vs flashes, and demonstrate tripod vs handheld shooting.

We will break for lunch and resume with sale pitches, how we approach potential clients and putting together packages that add value and increase your income. Early afternoon we will go back to shooting and I will demonstrate my process for capturing 360 tours. Fingers crossed for a sunset and a decent blue hour. We will wrap up about 6:30pm but if you are staying in the property you are welcome to continue after.

 

Day Two.

Breakfast will be available from 9am.

We will start at 10am, focusing on editing our content from day one and reshooting scenes where needed, I will demonstrate video editing using Divinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro & Premier Pro as required followed by editing 360 photos using Lightroom Photoshop and 3D Vista. The goal today is to give you the knowledge and skills to edit with confidence. We will break for lunch and the afternoon will cover Floorplans, data capture and turning our sketch into a digital file and you'll have plenty of time to reshoot if required. The course will wrap up at about 6pm.

 

By the end of the two days, all attendees will have had the opportunity to create a quality set of photos, a video, a 360 tour and a floorplan which can all be used as examples on your website or marketing material.


New for 2023!

Train To Be A Professional Photographer With Luke Granger Photography


Unlike many other training providers, I fully immerse myself within the photography industry and truly believe in the saying "practice what you preach". As a professional photographer myself, working primarily across the wedding and property industries, I take pride in perfecting my own work, continuing to develop and experiment with my own photography skills. As a result I have been able to expand my own business over recent years and taken on a wide range of projects across numerous industries.
