Beginner Photography Course (2-Part Course)

Have a camera but not quite know how to use it?

This two-part beginner photography course is designed to help you understand your camera and give you the confidence to start creating images you love.

Unlike many photography workshops that jump straight into taking photos, we'll first spend time learning how your camera works in a relaxed classroom environment. You'll learn what the settings do, when to use them, and how to move beyond Auto mode.

After the classroom session, you'll have time to practice at home, work through the included eBook, and complete a few simple exercises before joining the practical photography walk through Perth CBD the following Saturday.

This course is perfect for beginners wanting to understand their camera and improve their photography in a supportive and friendly environment.
