BEGINNERS PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
– COMPOSITION
Everybody likes to take a good photograph and good composition is the key to a fantastic photograph. Whether you use an iPhone camera, a point and shoot compact, or a state of the art digital SLR, how you view a subject and how you compose your frame makes the difference between a dull photograph and a brilliant one.
Taking better photographs is a skill that can be learnt with practice and this workshop will give you tools and tricks to make a good shot great, and to turn the ordinary into something unusual or extraordinary.
SUITABLE FOR: total beginners, those less interested in learning the technical side of photography, or for those who would like to take their learning one step at a time.
NEXT DATE: TBC please email me to register interest in this course
ONE TO ONE TUTORIALS
If you’d prefer to learn by yourself, book a session just for yourself (or you plus a group of friends) to cover whatever you’d like – composition, technical aspects or to review examples of your work.
