Book a one to one beginners photography course to start your photography journey. The course is designed to be relaxed, friendly and informative. It will provide you with enough information to go and practice effectively - and perhaps continue your photography journey by following up with an intermediate course at a later date.

The three hours session will cover the following:

Camera settings - Understanding of camera manual settings which include exposure, shutter speed, ISO and white balance. We’ll teach you how to use a combination of these settings for different situations and creating the desired effect. 

Lighting - The word ‘photography’ means drawing with light. If it is used correctly, you can create magic, and no matter how good your exposure and composition are, if you get the lighting wrong the end result will be unsuccessful. 

Composition - There is one particular guideline with variation which is commonly used for composing harmonious and balanced photographs. We’ll discuss this, how to apply it and the effect that it will have on your photos. Additionally, for each genre of photography there are tips and tricks of composition that should be kept in mind in order to draw the viewer in, engage them and take them on a journey. We’ll discuss how these rules are applied to subjects such as portraiture, landscape, food and product photography.

Creativity - We will guide you through the steps that will make your photographs more exciting, and enable you to see the world through a photographer’s eyes. 

Lenses - The use of appropriate lenses for different situations. Lenses are potentially one of the most expensive parts of photography. We’ll discuss what lenses might be suitable for different genres, and how to get the best out of the lens or lenses you already have.  

Other equipment - We’ll cover other equipment (such as tripod, filters etc.) that you will need, to help you through your photographic journey.
