Unlock Your Inner Photographer!
Join us for a fun, inclusive, and hands-on Beginner’s Photography Class, designed to help you take control of your camera and capture stunning shots with confidence.

In this engaging 3-hour workshop, we’ll break things down simply (no jargon!) and give you practical tools to start creating images you love.


What You’ll Learn:

✨ The Exposure Triangle – how aperture, shutter speed & ISO work together
📷 Aperture & Shutter Speed – how to take sharp or dreamy shots with intention
🎨 Composition Techniques – framing, balance & visual storytelling
🔍 Lenses & Their Uses – what to use and when


Coffee Break Included!
Midway through, we’ll pause for a relaxed coffee chat—because learning is always better with caffeine and good company.


Who It’s For:

📸 Total beginners and camera-shy creatives welcome!
🎓 Perfect if you’ve just picked up a camera or want to stop using Auto mode forever.
💬 Small group (max 5) means plenty of personalised guidance.


Bonus Perks:

✅ Personal image critique – send up to 10 images after the session
✅ Printable aide-mémoire to keep your new skills sharp


Event Info:

If it rains? No problem—we’ll reschedule if the weather’s truly miserable.
