Tog-Talk
Photographers in conversation: Essential guidance for new photographers on technique and artistic growth. That’s what ‘Tog Talk’ is all about—bringing photographers together to share insights and elevate their craft.
Tog-Talk is the home of UK professional photographer, Kevin Ahronson (Founder of Hampshire School of Photography). Every two weeks he is joined by one of his ex-students (now turned professional photographer) Kelly Perrin, where they'll dive deep into topics that matter to beginners, from mastering your camera settings to developing your unique style.
On alternating weeks, Kevin will dedicate the episode to answering listener questions, providing personalised advice to help you overcome challenges and grow as a photographer. Whether you’re struggling with exposure, landscape photography, street photography, photographing people, portraits and families, macro photography, flash photography, learning about editing with Photoshop or Lightroom, seeking composition tips, or exploring creative ideas, Tog Talk is your go-to resource for learning and inspiration.

Why would anyone want to be in my Inner Circle?
Inner Circle; the title alone suggests an exclusive group. An elite, crack-troupe of hand-picked photographers who disciple under my mentorship.
The reality is far more down to earth.
They are in fact a small group of amateur photographers who want something beyond what most traditional photography workshops and course can offer. They don’t want discussions about the rule of thirds or which buttons to press on their cameras. What they’re seeking is far deeper, far more challenging and far more left field.
It’s more about developing photography as a sixth-sense, so that making photographs is instinctive, something that comes from lack of fear and an openness to experiment.
My early thoughts
I originally conceived Inner Circle as a place where graduates from my Photography Masterclass would go ,once the course was complete. During their year together they would have learned an enormous amount about a wide range of photography genres. They would have made some great friends along the way and got used to monthly assignments to keep them focused and motivated. Many of them were asking for something more, something to progress onto... once Masterclass ended.
Inner Circle was born
This week’s Tog-Talk is a fascinating insight into what actually goes on inside the Inner Circle group. I am joined by two students who are halfway through their Inner Circle year… Nige Ward and Russ Clark. The guys talk openly and honestly about their experiences so far and what they have discovered, not only about how the group operates… but also how they have grown from the experience.
Want to find out more?
Our second Inner Circle group starts on 12 March (2022) and at the time of writing this, there is still one place free.
To read more about Inner Circle here’s a couple of links. The first is the webpage and the second is a more detailed description on my blog: the Photography Teacher.
However, you will get the best feel for Inner Circle by listening to Nige and Russ in this week’s episode of Tog-Talk.
