BASIC/BEGINNER PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

CHORLEY, LANCASHIRE

"GOODBYE AUTO - HELLO CREATIVE"

SUNDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER

12 NOON - 4PM

£85.00 P/P

AT CHORLEY GOLF CLUB

If you’ve ever wondered why your photos don’t quite match the vision in your head, the answer often lies in that little green 'Auto' mode. While automatic settings can be convenient, they also limit your creative freedom.

Your camera ends up making all the decisions - light, focus, mood, while your ideas take a backseat.

At our Basic/Beginner Photography Workshop, we’ll help you say goodbye to Auto for good and hello to creativity!

You’ll learn how to take full control of your camera using manual settings that unlock endless possibilities. From crafting beautiful blurry backgrounds with aperture, to capturing motion with shutter speed, to finding the perfect balance of light using ISO. This workshop will give you the tools to shoot with confidence and purpose.

It’s not about having the most expensive camera. It’s about understanding how to use it. Once you do, every photo becomes a reflection of your unique eye and creative voice.

So why don't you join us in person at Chorley Golf Club? It’s a relaxed, small-group session, designed to build your skills and boost your confidence. Get inspired and start to see the world through a new lens.

Organized by

Hi there...

I’m Nancy, a Wedding and Commercial Photographer based in Lancashire, and I work closely with my husband, Andy (the tall guy in my profile pic—standing at 6ft 5in!). Andy specializes in Landscape, Commercial, and Still Life Photography. Together, we’re passionate about photography and have dedicated our lives to it, whether through teaching or our own creative pursuits.

With over a decade of experience, we’re excited to offer a variety of courses in 2024/25, covering multiple genres. Our focus is on delivering quality over quantity, a philosophy we believe enriches both our work and life. All we ask is that you join us with a genuine enthusiasm for learning photography.

Warmest regards,

Nancy & Andy
