(if you are wanting to learn phone photography and videography instead please visit this page)
Date: The last public workshop for 2026 has taken place, but I am offering one to one sessions, and if you have a small group who would like a workshop please contact me.
What to expect on a day with me
We’ll start with the fundamentals of taking creative control of your camera, covering:
Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO – understanding how these settings work together
Light and composition – how to work with light to create compelling images
From there, we’ll practice photographing both inside and outside, applying what we’ve learned to various setups
Practical Sessions
Practice how to set up the best photographic area in your workspace
Photograph subjects (both inside and outside) -experimenting with different backdrops, lighting conditions, and compositions
Use a selection of props to tell a visual story through your images
For those interested, we will also explore how to use:
Artificial light, diffusers, and reflectors to enhance your shots when needed
Editing software – a brief introduction to editing
What to Bring
The course is designed for cameras that allow aperture priority or manual mode, including DSLR, mirrorless, compact, or bridge cameras
Not sure if your camera is suitable? Email me the make and model!
If you have a tripod, bring it along (we’ll also have some available to borrow)
Extras
