Learn to use your camera - photography workshops for beginners
Jane is a great teacher! She explains things in a way that is easy to understand. The day was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend the beginners course to anyone and I have already booked two more. Angela
Do you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera but find yourself stuck on AUTO because all the buttons and menus feel overwhelming? friendly beginner workshop will help you take control of your camera and start capturing the photos you’ve always wanted – from beautiful landscapes and natural portraits to travel shots and everyday moments.
Thanks for such a well thought out introduction to using an SLR camera beyond auto! Your friendly and informal approach put us at ease, the presentation covering the theory and the basics was perfectly balanced, putting those to practice outdoors was worth the chill. Looking forward to practising and booking an Improvers lesson! Mel
You don’t need any previous technical knowledge - everything is explained in plain English, step by step. In this friendly small-group workshop you’ll learn what the main camera settings actually do, how they affect your photographs, and how to start using them with confidence. We’ll cover aperture, shutter speed and ISO, as well as simple techniques for working with light and composition so you can create images that feel more natural, balanced and visually striking.
