# Chris James Photography
Chris James Photography is a Chesterfield-based photography business offering specialist one-to-one training and professional photography services to enthusiasts and beginners across Derbyshire and beyond.
The business serves anyone looking to develop their photography skills, from those new to digital cameras to photographers struggling with specific equipment or software. Chris James caters to individuals of varying physical abilities and schedules, recognising that learning needs are highly personal.
What sets Chris James Photography apart is their flexible, tailored approach to training. Rather than one-size-fits-all group workshops, sessions are customised to each client's specific needs, abilities and schedule—including evenings and weekends. The business operates within a 15-mile radius of Chesterfield but extends nationwide via video link training, making professional instruction accessible regardless of location.
The training covers essential digital photography fundamentals: camera modes and settings, exposure control, focus techniques, and colour balance. Chris James has extensive experience with hundreds of camera models across all major manufacturers, from compact cameras to DSLRs.
Beyond in-person training, the business offers innovative online learning through Skype or Google Hangouts, with dedicated problem-solving sessions for software like Lightroom. This blended approach—combining hands-on sessions with targeted remote support—ensures clients can practise between lessons and consolidate their learning effectively.
The business also sells curated photography products including presentation albums, thank you cards, photo paper, and camera equipment, alongside a portfolio of professional photography including aviation and heritage print work.
