P3T Photography Beginners Workshop

My beginners photography workshops take place in Kent, UK. They are for people new to photography or who find that they never move away from their camera’s AUTO feature.

These are small group courses (maximum of six people) so lots of time to ask questions of our friendly and fun tutors. I will build your confidence in your own abilities and hopefully give you the bug to want to develop a hobby that lasts for years or build into a career.

The price of a group course starts from £67.00 per person (excludes refreshments and travel costs) you can see a list of dates by clicking on our Event partner site Eventbrite or by clicking here.

You do not need an expensive camera to attend the course but it must have controls/settings which allow you to adjust the shutter speed, the aperture and ISO. If you are not sure, please ask before booking!

By the end of the workshop you will be able to:

Understand and use the manual controls of your camera.
Understand exposure.
Understand how to compose a photograph that is pleasing to the eye.
Understand light and how it affects your photographs.
Understand the basics of colour and white balance.
Use creative techniques to stand out from the ordinary.

After intros, we will start the day with a briefing. After the workshop, you will be provided with a recap of what you have learnt on the day as well as after support.

We will spend the first part of the workshop developing your knowledge of how your camera works and is adjusted. We will pause whenever you want to ask questions. We will then begin to put this into practice.

You will have the opportunity to re-cap some of the morning’s points and then we will be back out to put the tuition into practice in locations that are a short walk away. The furthest we will walk is about 1km using either pavements or footpaths, so please consider this if you have mobility concerns and get in touch before booking if you would like more detail.

We will be out for approximately two hours reviewing our work as we go and you will have plenty of opportunity to ask further questions.

We end the course with a quick re-cap on what has been covered.

The workshop is three hours.
