Complete beginner? We recommend starting with the Photography for Beginners Class, which is a 3 hour structured workshop where you’ll learn the basics of using your camera with more 1-on-1 time with the instructor.
Looking to learn more? Come along to the group sessions, which are more casual and informal than other workshops, and with more time to take photos and put your new skills into practice.
What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!
What’s involved? Each session starts with an introduction to the fortnight’s theme, and the photography instructor will chat about the camera settings and techniques to use. You’ll then have time to take lots of photos, with the instructor present to answer any questions. You’ll receive feedback and have a chance to chat with everyone to share tips and ideas. We’re a social bunch!

I enjoyed the workshop, I suppose that way the class was presented as a framework for a storyboard was interesting, and while I generally have a plan for a photoshoot I don't often think as a story. So that was good.

It was a great night. I was suprised when we were split up and sent out on our own rather than communicate as a group. However it did allow us to be individually creative.

Great fun night, lots happening thus the ideal location for night scenes and raw action!! Claire's guidance is encouraging and always supportive in feedback . Having a specific brief pushes me through some boundaries and helps me get to know my camera more as well. Look forward to more night classes!
