About The Workshop
Starting just after lunch and running until sunset, my Beginners Photography Workshop will give you the confidence and skills to fully understand your DSLR or mirrorless camera. The day is designed around your style, your pace, and your camera.
Whether you shoot with Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji, or Sony, I’ll speak your camera’s language—and make sure you do too.
Over the years, I’ve guided hundreds of beginners to those “aha” moments, when settings, dials, and numbers finally click into place.
Turn confusion into creativity. That’s when photography really becomes exciting.
So join me at one of my Beginners Photography Workshops and get off AUTO forever.
What We'll Cover
Camera Set Up
We’ll walk through your camera step by step so you know exactly where to find the key settings and how to navigate the menus with ease. You’ll also learn how to check that everything is set up correctly, so you can avoid common mistakes and feel confident every time you pick up your camera.
Exposure
Learn how to make sure your photos aren’t too dark or too bright. We’ll show you simple ways to balance the light in your shot so your images come out clear, vibrant, and just the way you want them. With a few easy techniques, you’ll quickly gain the confidence to get great results in any lighting.
Colour
Discover how to bring out natural, vibrant, beautiful colours in your photos in any situation. Within a few minutes, you’ll feel confident capturing colours just the way you see them. No more boring sunsets and dull landscapes.
Focus
Master your cameras autofocus modes show so you can capture action in any situation. No more missed actions shots, out of focus portraits or wildlife shots when the branch is sharp and the bird is blurry.
Apertures
Dive into understanding apertures and how to use them to create beautiful soft backgrounds to make your subjects (and your photography) stand out.
Shutter Speeds
The ability to control motion is at your fingertips. Learn how to freeze the action, or slow time down to create images you never thought possible.
Lenses
Take a guided tour of your lenses. Get to know the differences between lens types, focal lengths and what type of lenses are best for different types of photography.
Shooting Modes
We'll progress of Auto and work our way through the 4 key Shooting Modes: Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual - and when to use each one and why.
Also included in the Beginners Photography Workshop is a full set of comprehensive illustrated guides. Each page covers everything we covered, plus a few more as well.
Accompanying each photograph on each page is are all the settings I used to take the shot – Shooting Mode, Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, White Balance and more.
