Introduction to Photography

By far the most popular course we teach!


Ideal for complete beginners as well as those that have some knowlege of photography.


If you don't have a suitable camera, we can lend you a Digital SLR for the day free of charge!


Currently available as a 1-2-1 day course for a cost of just £99.00!! The course runs from 10.00am until 4.00pm (approx) with a break for lunch (included).

A digital SLR, whilst technically capable of taking much better photographs than any of the pocket cameras out there, is wasted if you leave it in the fully automatic setting - which unfortunately is what most people do!

Consider the Introduction to Photography course as this:

Your camera manual, stripped of all the technical blurb, selecting the most important bits that will help you see instant improvements, then converting it into a 1-day, easy to understand course where you spend most of the day actually using the camera, learning and then applying what you learn with the ability to have questions answered.


But the course is much more than this. Not only will you finish the course technically able to take a correctly exposed photograph regardless of the circumstances in fully manual mode (YES LIKE A PROFESSIONAL!) but you will also look at the subjects you photograph in a different way thus improving the overally quality of your photography.


The course includes the following:


Introduction to & getting to know your camera

Camera menu

Setting up your camera

The accessories available to you

The tripod & its uses

Shutter speeds and their effects on an image

Aperture and their creative uses

ISO and its uses

“The photographic triangle”

Some time out of the studio putting what you're learned into practice

Transfer to and basic image editing on the pc
