This is a beginner workshop. If you are just getting started in photography and have been using the most basic settings on your camera this workshop is for you. This workshop will show you the key features of your camera so you can take better portraits, action shots, landscape images and more.
The workshop is in-person and takes place at the Central Park Business Centre.

• A maximum of 10 participants per workshops guarantees personal attention.

• You’ll need a digital camera. It can be a DSLR or a mirrorless model. Your camera must have the shutter and aperture priority modes. These controls usually appear on a dial or can sometimes be accessed through the LCD screen.
Click here to see what it looks like. If you’re not sure if your camera has these modes, email me your camera model and I’ll let you know.
"Point and shoot" cameras are not recommended since they lack most of the features covered.
• A charged battery and a memory card with empty space.
• Your camera manual will come in handy. Digital PDF versions are easily found online and you can store them on your phone for easy access.
Please be on time (early is better). I’m unable to restart the class once we begin.
