The Royal Hospital was founded in 1682 and features buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren, set in superb grounds, all of which which offer photographers unrivalled opportunities to explore practice and refine their skills.
A unique feature of the course is the combining of both resident Pensioners with City Lit students, which affords learners unique insights into the Hospital’s history and current role in the community.
The course finishes with a final session crit, where all work shot over the course is reviewed with group discussion and feedback.
