Our most popular option is the in-person, hands-on course. We’ll set up your camera and f:ocus kit for you while you enjoy the morning seminar. Interactive point-of-view videos and live demonstrations show you exactly how to get each shot before you put the techniques into practice with your own SLR, macro lens and kit. New for 2027, you’ll also learn how to shoot dental photos and video with your smartphone

If you’re based outside the UK, prefer to learn from home or can’t find a hands-on course date that suits you, our kit-only option lets you get started with f:ocus mobile as soon as your kit ships. We run hands-on courses monthly, so if you’d like to join us in person later, simply pay the difference when a suitable date becomes available. There are no additional fees or deadlines to upgrade.
