The Mango Lab

See different, be different. Growing your vision.



We're having a blast of a week with the Teens for our Half-term Photography courses!

Inspiring Teens over the holidays is something we always look forward to and love the energy you all have!

Here what's still up and coming this half-term.
And we thought we'd give you a hand too: 25% discount on a first-come-first-served basis on the last spaces!
for:
Teens INSTAGRAM workshop: Beyond the Selfie - Creating Photographic Stories in Instagram
Fri 20 Feb (1 day workshop), 11am-5pm. 25% discount this course only. Phone us to book: 02 3002 4991.
In our Teens Instagram photography course we look at and put into lots of practice how you can use your camera phone really creatively and see things in different ways, compositionally and in combination to tell stories. We also introduce some lesser-known apps that combine with Instagram and enhance the edit above and beyond what everyone wants to upload. Lots of practical fun photography out in town with mobile phone cameras (or your dslr and we can upload from our laptops, ipads, etc.) for telling stories in pictures!

Teens Half-term Beginners Digital Photography course
Also: Sat 21 and Sun 22 Feb (weekend workshop), 11am - 5pm on Saturday & Sunday. 25% discount this course only.
Phone us to book: 02 3002 4991.

We'd love to meet you and make this a fun and memorable half-term (make a splash),

Plus feel more confident photographing as you learn new camera skills and have fun practising and experimenting together in a fun small group.

Call us (020 3002 4991) to ensure you're in, or rather out and about with us, over half-term and see if you can grab one of our last spaces.

Looking for a Saturday Teens activity or want to acquire a new skill, or need an Extra Skill for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards' scheme?

Next Saturday term-time Teens Beginners Digital Photography starts Saturday 28 February (4 Saturdays), 10am-1pm >>
Not only will you Teens have a fun and sociable time with other like-minded Teens but you will discover the basics of photography and a range of camera tricks in an easily memorable way - a new skill for life.
We meet at a variety of central London locations (always meeting at easily accessible tube stations) so you get to put skills into practice in varying surroundings (which everyone gives a thumbs up to!).

Time with The Mango Lab is time invested in your future. And of course a load of fun!

Since creating The Mango Lab we have opened the eyes of many students and clients to seeing (and thinking about) the world around them in new ways: learning both on the camera and with our "creative vision" guidance, how to record new and unusual compostions, things you might not ever have stopped to look at before and on-camera tricks you never knew existed, as well as computer Photoshop techniques to enhance and make pictures come alive, some literally! With the largest number of students through our doors last year and counting, word must be getting out! Which of course makes us happy too.

We also love our growing international component of students, some of whom have come to England specially having booked one of our courses: a wave to those of you perhaps now back in your home countries, in Singapore, Dubai, Brazil, Spain, Ethiopia, France, Italy, South Africa, and a few more!
It's great you're telling your friends about us - we'll be polishing our languages in preparation!

And of course to those of you on English soil! We hope to see more of you in the near future too.

We're so central now - 3 mintues from Piccadilly Circus! - so give us a ring (020 3002 4991) and come round for a tea or coffee and the usual biscuits!
We're also still in West London and our 1:1s take us all over London and sometimes outside of London, so our location can be seen as Greater London and the surrounding area...

And our photography commissions take us even further afield, so just ask if you need us outside of London.

If you are a lucky recipient of one of our Mango vouchers get in touch via email or phone to book or confirm your course or session.

Adult photography enthusiasts!
Or maybe you aren't yet but soon will be!
Have you been wanting to work out your camera but just not had the time?
Wish you knew some compostion tricks for how to frame a shot well?
Come and join us, and with lots of fun learn quickly how to photograph creatively, navigate around your camera and train your eye to see and record the world around you!
