Focus On... Beginner’s Photography - Leeds

Unlock Your Inner Photographer!Join us for a fun, inclusive, and hands-on Beginner’s Photography Class, designed to help you take control of your camera and capture stunning shots with confidence.

In this engaging 3-hour workshop, we’ll break things down simply (no jargon!) and give you practical tools to start creating images you love.

The Exposure Triangle – how aperture, shutter speed & ISO work together

Aperture & Shutter Speed – how to take sharp or dreamy shots with intention

Composition Techniques – framing, balance & visual storytelling Lenses & Their Uses – what to use and when

Coffee Break Included!Midway through, we’ll pause for a relaxed coffee chat—because learning is always better with caffeine and good company.

Total beginners and camera-shy creatives welcome! Perfect if you’ve just picked up a camera or want to stop using Auto mode forever. Small group (max 5) means plenty of personalised guidance.

Personal image critique – send up to 10 images after the session
