More workshop info

The Beginners’ course serves as a great introduction to photography. We look at the basic principles involved in capturing an image and learn how the camera interprets what it sees. The course has a very practical bias and our aim is to translate the technical aspects of photography into real-life examples, demonstrating how you can take creative control of your camera’s functions.

This course is ideal for anyone looking to fully understand the capabilities of their camera and will demystify all those curious buttons and dials. Our aim on the Beginners’ Course is to teach you how to use your camera to capture the image that you see in your mind’s eye.

By the end of the Beginners’ Course, you will have an understanding and appreciation of the following photographic techniques:

  • Apertures and Shutter Speeds. The relationship between them and how their use influences the final image
  • ISO. How selecting the right ISO speed will allow you to capture images in low light, without flash
  • White Balance and Colour Temperature. How to ensure that you are capturing colours accurately
  • RAW v JPEG. We explain what these digital formats are and how your choice of format might affect what you can do with your digital files

What will you need to attend the course?

Any camera, whether digital or film, will be perfect but an SLR or Rangefinder camera would be ideal. If you’re not sure, please ask.

What else will you receive?

You will leave the course with access to a comprehensive set of notes, covering all of the techniques discussed, which you can refer to in your own time. Access to a private, online forum where you can continue discussions with fellow students and upload your images for review and critique.
