A short introductory workshop for those new to photography who want to understand how their camera works and how to begin making considered photographic decisions.
The session focuses on core principles rather than presets or shortcuts, providing a clear foundation for working with a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
The workshop introduces essential camera functions and settings, including shooting modes, lenses, and the practical use of ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. Time is spent becoming familiar with camera controls and understanding how adjustments affect the resulting image.
Participants work hands-on with their own equipment throughout the session.
The relationship between ISO, shutter speed, and aperture is introduced as a practical tool for controlling exposure. Rather than memorising rules, the emphasis is on understanding how changes in one setting affect the others, and how this translates into real shooting situations.
Manual mode is introduced as a way of making deliberate choices, with guidance on when and how to move away from automatic settings.
Basic compositional principles are covered, including framing, balance, and the organisation of elements within the image. Attention is also given to the role of light and shadow, helping participants begin to recognise how direction, quality, and contrast influence the character of a photograph.
The workshop is practical and paced to suit those at the beginning of their photographic journey. Questions are addressed as they arise, and the session adapts to the equipment and experience level of the participants.
This workshop is intended for beginners who want a clear, structured introduction to photography and a better understanding of how to use their camera with confidence.
