We believe that experimenting and playing with your camera will enable you to master it quicker than studying books or trawling the internet watching videos. Our workshops are designed to give you the mindset which will open up your creativity and inspire you to use your camera. All our workshops, tours, day and weekend trips are designed to help you think like a photographer and sharpen you observation.
Discover your passion or just becoming more knowledgeable with your camera.
Allow yourself to explore new techniques and to develop a new understanding of photography.
Being part of The Aperture Club also allows you to get away from regular life, spend uninterrupted time meeting new friends, identify your interests and enjoy the fun and adventure of photography.

Brent Wilson
— Tutor
Brent has worked in the photographic field for over 30 years, starting out at Australian Consolidated Press where he honed his skills, working alongside – and mentored by – some of the nation’s best magazine photographers.
With a passion for plants and gardening he was a natural fit as principal photographer for Burke’s Backyard Magazine, which saw him shoot a wide variety of subjects over fifteen years; from horticulture to celebrities, interiors, products, projects, pets, food and travel.
Now a freelancer, he shoots anything and everything – corporate portraits, event photography, gardens and lifestyle – and is a regular contributor as both photographer and writer to several gardening magazines. His horticultural images are represented by a large photo library in the UK.
“Being a photographer is an adventure; every day is different, you need to have many skills at your disposal – not only technical proficiency, but the ability to communicate to people from all walks of life. Above all, you must be passionate and love what you are doing”
