EXPLORE. CREATE. INSPIRE.

Don't be misled by the word 'Basic'! 

This comprehensive workshop covers the basic operations and features on your camera. Unlock and understand what at first sight may seem to be a complex camera with a busy menu. 

At the end of the workshop, you will have a better understanding of photography and be able to take control of your camera to create the images you want.
 
This workshop is suitable for participants with no or some photography experience as well as for more experienced photographers who wish to expand their knowledge.
 
We provide 16 hours of clear explanation, discussion and hands-on practice about your camera. Get it to work for you to make great images, the way you want them.

About this Workshop

This photography workshop takes place in Brussels.

We’ll cover essential camera topics using interactive discussion, slide presentations,  live demonstration and an outdoor practical exercise session. Participants will be guided step by step through the key controls of their cameras, so that they are well-understood before moving on.
 
We’ll also aim to have time to see some basic Adobe Lightroom editing demonstrations. And we’ll have a short session on how the main principles of composition can add some zip to your photos.

An automatic compact digital is not usually suitable for this workshop. Just check with us if in doubt.
 
You’ll be pleasantly surprised how much is covered and what you’ll learn about your camera and the wider world of photography!
