Working from the senic facilities at Artshed and Westmill Farm or the wonderful countryside landscape around her home studio at Clay End, Lupe Cunha will be teaching the art of photography to students photographing around the beautiful Hertfordshire rural countryside.. Whether you are just beginning in digital or expanding into a more complex SLR camera, Lupe will clarify the entire digital photographic process. Providing information in accessible bit-size portions, from taking to saving to viewing, she will help you get the most from your camera, from the technical bits to photographic composition.
