If you have been wondering how to finally take your camera off Auto, or if you have a new device and feel overwhelmed by the array of settings, a one to one photography course is the perfect solution. This workshop is designed to equip you with the technical knowledge to get the absolute best out of your camera, allowing you to stop worrying about the buttons and start focusing on taking great pictures.
We begin with a thorough introduction to the fundamentals, covering aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focusing, composition, and light metering. Following this, you will receive a tailored walkthrough of your camera’s specific menu system, helping you uncover hidden features and configure the settings perfectly for your style of photography. Once you are comfortable with the setup, the real fun begins as we head out to take pictures. This practical approach ensures that approximately 90% of our time is spent on hands-on demonstrations and shooting, with only 10% dedicated to theory.
During the practical session, you will master everything from autofocus configurations and white balance to the science of light and exposure. We will explore the art of composition, teaching you why certain images work and how to use techniques like the Rule of Thirds to frame your shots for maximum impact. We also demystify the technical side of the craft, discussing the benefits of RAW versus JPEG and how to manage essential hardware like memory cards and batteries. To ensure your workflow is complete, the day finishes with a guide to transferring, organising, and sharing your images on a computer, all delivered in a clear and accessible way.
