This course will teach you fundamental technical and creative tools to help you create stunning photographs with your DSLR camera. It is aimed at beginners who usually shoot in ‘Auto’ but would like to begin to use priority modes and improve their creative compositions.

Everybody learns differently, so you will have the opportunity to develop your skills through both theory and practice (weather permitting). The day will be fun and interactive, with a small group size (4-8 students) to ensure you receive one-to-one tuition time.
