Beginner Photography Workshop

A practice based format Beginner Photography Workshop for people just starting out in photography or making the transition from film to digital. Held along Southbank & Westminster areas of London.

The Beginner Photography Workshop is designed for clients either just starting out in photography or making the transition from film to digital photography.

We start with a theory lesson over coffee and cake (we pay) before spending the remaining time outside on practical exercises. The aim is to teach and reinforce skills through repetition so that ultimately clients are making conscious and correct decisions on the settings on their own camera by themselves

The workshop will run from 3 - 6 hours depending on client numbers (max. 7 clients) .

Workshop Content:

* How to get your camera to focus on the thing you want to focus on (autofocus lock/points).
* Supporting your camera.
* Setting the viewfinder for your eyesight.
* Why Program mode is a better alternative to Auto if you lack confidence.
* How to make your photos come out lighter or darker, using one simple setting (exposure compensation).
* What Scene modes are and how to use them effectively.
* How to change your Aperture setting and the effect it will have on your photos.
* Using your fill in flash.
* How & why to change your ISO settings so that you can take photos in dim light without flash (low light photography).
* What White Balance is, what you use it for, and how to change it.
* How your lens length can make a big difference to your photos (focal lengths and effects).
