Photography can feel like a complicated hobby. There’s nothing more frustrating than having a beautiful camera, but not knowing how to get the best from it.

If you are a beginner photographer and you want to master the manual capabilities of your DSLR or Mirrorless camera as a hobby, for work or to build a new career then our Photography Course for Beginners will help you get started. We aim to deliver a fun, user-friendly and practical beginners photography course that demystifies the functions of your camera first so you can focus on the scene you want to capture.

  • Use their DSLR Cameras manually with skill and confidence

  • Understand Aperture, Depth of Field and Shutter and Motion

  • Use the appropriate metering and exposure systems to correctly expose their image

  • Identify difficult lighting situations that result in incorrect exposures

  • Understand the basic principle of the Photographic Triangle

  • Select the appropriate ISO, Resolution, and White Balance settings

  • Understanding the physical equipment important to a photographer
