Photography Classes & Tutorial

A person stands in a forest holding a camera, dressed in a jacket and jeans. Behind them, a lighting setup with a large reflector attached to a tripod is visible. The ground is covered in pine needles and surrounded by tall trees and green foliage.

Four young boys are standing close together and smiling at the camera, with the two boys on the ends having their arms around the shoulders of the boys next to them. Captured by one of the UK's best event photographers, they are dressed in casual clothes and appear to be outdoors, with more children blurred in the background.

A person stands with arms outstretched in front of a striking light art installation featuring a series of glowing, red abstract shapes set against a dark background. The vibrant red lights create a dynamic and futuristic atmosphere, much like the energy you’d find at Manchester's famed music and comedy venues.

A person with blonde braided hair, wearing a purple and white striped shirt, is seated at a table working on a laptop. They are wearing headphones and appear focused. The background includes double doors and some blurred wall posters. A "Tim Simpson Photography - UK's Best Event Photographer" watermark is in the bottom right corner.

A man with long, wavy hair wearing a checkered blazer and white shirt is smiling while seated at a piano or keyboard on a dimly lit stage. Captured by the UK's best event photographer, a blurred background banner suggests a performance venue.
