Ideal for DSLR/mirrorless camera owners and those returning to photography. This practical class has no boring lectures—less physics and more photography. Learn what each button does, understand aperture and shutter controls, and fix exposure problems. Discover how to take great photos with your digital camera.
OFF CAMERA FLASH As much as I love natural light photography there is NOTHING I like more than to shoot with off camera flash. For me it is all about control. I want the light where I want it, with the look that I want and I want the scenes mood set exactly as I want. ONLY off camera flash gives me complete control. It's not hard, you just need to learn some skills and systems and that is exactly what this day is all about. Our day is a whirlwind of learning and amazing photos. We start our day with a two hour presentation discussing all things flash. You will learn: How to get your flash shots correctly exposed first time, every time! Where to position your lights How to shape your light How to control every aspect of your scene After lunch we spend the afternoon putting those lessons into practice, setting up photos with our model, and then learning how to maximise each opportunity. The day is very hands on and you are guaranteed to go home with a head full of new ideas and a new way of looking at the world. Each day is different with weather, the time of year, the locations and the opportunities that arise. We never know exactly what we will confront us when we head out to shoot and that's always exciting!
Join this four-hour practical workshop exploring self-portraiture using your own DSLR camera, led by artist Sarah Walker. Designed for artists and creative practitioners, this workshop focuses on building confidence and skills in creating strong portrait images for professional and creative use—particularly for profiles, portfolios and project documentation. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises, Sarah will introduce a range of practical approaches to self-portraiture, including composition, lighting, camera settings and working independently behind the lens. Participants will experiment with different techniques and gain a clearer understanding of how to represent themselves visually in an authentic and professional way.
