A course by Joshua Edgoose
Josh Edgoose is a London-based freelance photographer with over 15 years of experience. He first started studying photography after leaving school before going on to launch his own clothing brand, where he put his skills into practice by photographing his products. After years of honing his skills and experimenting with photography on a daily basis, he was approached by a publisher to work on a book of his work, Brilliant Parade, which captures his street photography from around London during a five-year period.
Since then, he’s become a full-time freelance photographer, started his own YouTube channel and hosted workshops on photography. His photographs have been featured in publications such as It’s Nice That, i-D, Creative Boom, The Guardian, and more. He also shares his works with over 100K followers on Instagram.

Loved this course. Highly recommend

Great course! Easy to understand and practice the lessons, literally every walk around the block becomes an opportunity to see the world through a different perspective and try to translate it into the lenses of the camera. I particularly love the idea of photographing the things around you, because it makes immediate, rather than waiting for the proper scenario to come.
