Photography can be wonderfully therapeutic, but it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the settings and functions when using your camera out of auto or learning to use editing software.
That's why Gem started teaching Photography in bitesize, easy to absorb lessons both online and in person. A great alternative to studying photography at college or university. Perfect for hobbyists or those shooting professionally.
Our membership site hosts live demos throughout the month including:
Edit With Me Sessions
Going Pro Power Hours
Question and Answer Sessions
We also have webinars and interviews with relevant experts lined up. There's a resource pool of useful infographics, articles and paperwork examples.
Pay as you go on our online courses with our free membership tier or sign up to a paid tier to have them included in your membership.
