Whether you run a creative business and want to be more confident using your camera to show off your work or simply want to take better pictures at home and on your travels then learning to use your camera on manual is the best first step.
These days, so many of us use our phones to photograph the world around us. But there is a beauty to be found in knowing how your camera works and how traditional photographic techniques and scientific discoveries have paved the way for our freedom to capture the world around us so freely.
Inside your camera is where the science happens, and light is at the heart of it. Without it we wouldn't be able to create photographs at all
Photography has come such long way since the first known photograph was produced in France around 1826. What science has done for us as creatives is amazing.
We all have such free access to photography these days, how often are we intentional at being creative with how we are using our camera.
Knowing how your camera works is actually quite simple (from the photographers point of view) so take some time and start creating stunning images.
My beginners photography courses are the best first step to gaining ‘off auto’ camera confidence. Especially if you want to push yourself to control your camera and create stronger images.
Create visually strong photos as the course progresses with tips and advice on different aspects of creative photography. Covering all the technical and creative basics you will need to start confidently using your camera on manual.
"This course has been the most enjoyable experience I have had in a long time. Thank you so much!"
"I was aware before the course that I was becoming fixated by the technology. The course has cured me and put me on a much better track!"
"Karen was very professional from the teaching to the worksheets. The material she gave us was brilliant, clear and easy to understand. I like the way we did the theory side of things and had time to get out and practice straight away with the garden and town walks. Nice size groups also."
