👆About the Organisers

David Selkirk 'My name is Dave. I'm a performer and content creator, originally from South Africa, but came to London to follow my creative dream. I’ve been very fortunate that my passions and hobbies have turned into income streams. I’m a personal trainer and an electrician in between my creative gigs, meaning I am never reliant on one income stream. I look forward to going over the various options and basics of drone flying with you, as well as the potential for professionally earning from a fun, fulfilling hobby.'

The Photography Foundation was created to provide pathways to professional photography for less advantaged young adults in London by offering education, practical experience, and routes to a career in the creative industries. The Photography Foundation acknowledges that commercial photography can be a stressful career and feel isolating at times. Our events are intended to promote wellbeing and the importance of making time for inspiration and creativity in your practice in order to maintain a sustainable career.

Our six-month commercial photography Training Programme provides a supportive and inspiring environment where people aged 18-25 years old to take their professional photography skills to the next level, develop a commercially-focused portfolio tailored to their career goals, and grow their independent voice whilst gaining practical experience.
