Camera Equipment

Photography requires only a simple camera, however the techniques that I teach will benefit those who want to learn to use a camera that allows the photographer to adjust modes such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.  This will include:

 - All DSLRs

 - Micro four third cameras

 - Mirrorless cameras

 - Most other cameras allow this functionality too.

If unsure get in touch and I'll be happy to advise. A tripod and flash would be useful but not essential as we can share and I have spares.

Is This Course For Me?

You still might be wondering if it's suitable, if so give me a call and I'll run through a typical workshop for you, then you'll know for sure if it's suitable. I've done this for many customers and it's super helpful for them. If you already have some knowledge of photography and are not predominantly using the auto mode then this workshop will take your images to the next level. If you are still on auto mode then you would benefit from the this workshop first. You will learn advanced techniques for composing images, expert advice on natural and flash light and the advanced functions on your camera that will enable you to achieve stunning results. This course is for enthusiasts that want to get fantastic results and images or amateurs looking to become professionals

Upon completing the course you will have continued support for any questions or refreshers and will be invited to an online group where like-minded attendees share and comment on their progress. Images can be posted for constructive criticism too. The online group is updated regularly with photo ideas and assignments with all the details on which settings to use.
