Lens School runs photography courses, workshops and tours. It is owned and run by Leonard (Len) Metcalf. Len comes with over 25 years photography experience and specialist training in education and photography teaching. Len is one of the few photography teachers with art, photography and educational qualifications. These include: Certificate IV Training & Development, Diploma (Outdoor Recreation), Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts – with a Photography Major), Graduate Diploma in Education (Art Education) and Masters in Education (Adult Education).

Len has over 30 years teaching experience and has facilitated learners from diverse organizations including: Westpac, ANZ, Commsec, Citibank, Uncle Tobies, The University of Technology, Sydney, NSW University Graduate School, The Kuwait Ministry of Defense, Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services, TAFE NSW, Burnside Homes, Bondi Wave, Outdoor Insights, Mountain Equipment, Innerskill and Chakola – Operation Challenge. Lens teaching expertise is so highly regarded he is regularly invited to mentor and train vocational teachers and corporate facilitators.

With this background you will find a well crafted course that has specific learning experiences designed into the program to ensure that you gain the most benefit from your attendance of the course. This is in sharp contrast to many courses which are run by expert photographers who don’t have an educational background.

The courses are conducted all over the place, but very close to the best photographic locations. Most courses include indoor and outdoor sessions, and where possible the opportunity to develop your films or examine your work on laptops so that you can receive instant feedback on your progress.

Len Metcalf works in conjunction with a number of different organizations to ensure your course is of the highest standard, fully insured and licensed, and up to date with the latest specialist equipment.

Len sells his photographic prints, limited edition photographs and merchandise from selected galleries, online and from his studio.
