Dear Course Coordinator, I am considering enrolling in your weekend photography course and would appreciate some further information before making a booking. I already use a basic camera, but I would particularly like to improve my understanding of lighting and composition. Could you tell me how many participants usually attend each class? I am interested in a course where there is enough time for individual feedback. I would also like to know whether students need to bring a particular type of camera or any additional equipment. If some equipment is provided, please explain what is included in the course fee. Finally, I would be grateful for details of access to the teaching rooms. A friend who may attend with me cannot use stairs. Are the classrooms and facilities accessible without steps, and would the planned outdoor activities be suitable for her? These details will help us decide whether the course meets our needs. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Mia Carter
