Kevin Ahronson

Ahronson.com is the portal for accessing online photography lessons and consultations with Kevin Ahronson, founder of Hampshire School of Photography (HSP).

Having recently moved into semi-retirement, Kevin now spends three days a week working with photography enthusiasts of all levels; from complete beginners and advanced amateurs, through to those who want to go professional.   He does this through workshops and his highly sought after one-year Masterclass courses.

In addition, through HSP, Kevin provides online tutorials and hosts an active community of photographers on his free-to-access Facebook group: the Hamphire Photography Network

Each year, Kevin also accepts a small number of individuals for private mentoring (click for more information)

Unless specifically stated, all online courses are conducted LIVE (as opposed to recordings), which means that when you take part, you can ask questions and interact with others.

Visit the HSP website for tuition that is classroom-based.

Here you can book courses in small groups alongside other photographers like yourself.

Some of these courses may be single event, others could run for a number of sessions (weeks, months or even longer).

Some people prefer private consultations which are, in effect, 1:1 video meetings.

These are more useful if you are looking for instruction in a subject which is not covered by any of the current group courses. Alternatively, your availability maybe such that you can't attend the fixed dates of other workshops.

If you are thinking about booking onto a course, but feel you need to talk with Kevin in advance, you can book a 15 minuter taster, which is exactly what it says on the tin.

These short sessions are free, and are there to help you make your mind up.

Do you have a question about Photography?

Post your question here and I will reply.

You have the option to type in your question, or you can use your phone or webcam to record your question by video (or upload a video you've already recorded). You have the option to re-record if you don't like what you've recorded.

I will respond with a video reply.

I reserve the right (unless you tick the box to cancel this option) to use your video online, as a teaching tool to help others.

About Kevin Ahronson

Kevin bought his first 35mm film camera back in 1969. He joined the school photography club and went straight into the darkroom, learning to mix chemicals, develop and print his own photographs.

Throughout the 1970s, 80 and 90s Kevin passionately pursued his love for the creative image, shooting both still images and the occasional film, joining the BBC in 1973 as a film assistant.

Since 2006 Kevin has been shooting in digital, replacing long hours in the darkroom with long hours spent fine-tuning his editing skills in Photoshop. For him, the creativity doesn’t end at the camera.

Since then he has shot most things from weddings to corporate boardrooms, both in the UK and overseas. He's shot overseas for travel companies and run photography workshops on the Greek islands of Crete and Samos. In recent years he’s even worked on a small number of movies, one of which took him to Hollywood, nominated as Best Director of Photography.

With over five decades behind the lens, Kevin now focuses his attention on passing on his vast knowledge and experience to others through the Hampshire School of Photography, which he founded in 2016.
