Workshops

Level 1 – Getting It!

This introductory workshop is for people just starting out in SLR photography. We will cover among other things:

• Getting to know your camera
• Moving out of auto mode – the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and ISO
• Light! – finding it, evaluating it, using it and modifying it.
• Basics of composition
• What makes an interesting image?
• Basics of workflow – getting your images from camera to print

Level 2 – Nurturing It!

This introductory workshop is for people who know the basics and would like to move a little further to improve their images. We will cover among other things:

• Working with children – getting them to work with you and capturing those Wow! shots.
• Location, location, location – finding the perfect spot and working with what you’ve got.
• Better composition
• Developing your style
• Lightroom – and introduction to making the best of your images.

Level 3 – Using It!

This workshop is designed for people who are comfortable with their camera, and would like to learn about how to conduct a client shoot. We will conduct a real shoot from start to finish!

This course will be very hands-on! Ideal for those of you considering making the leap in to your own photography business.

Once our shoot is complete we will take a look at the behind the scenes work that follows. From choosing the best images, to processing them with lightroom to bring out their best and presenting them to the client.
