Beginners Workshop
Our beginners photography workshop starts with a morning session consisting of two hours of essential camera theory, where we guide you through the key features of cameras. You will learn how to control the aperture, shutter speed and ISO for absolute creative control of the camera and discover how to shoot confidently in the manual mode.
