Photography Basics: From Auto to Awesome! @ Our Crafty Place

The Workshop

Your workshop host, Sophie, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “This workshop is designed to give you a good understanding of your camera and how to use it to take great photos.

We’ll start by getting you off of Auto mode, and teaching you the basic camera settings, how they affect the images and how to set them for the best results.

Then we’ll go on to methods of how to find the best lighting, colours and composition to ensure by the end of the session you know how to take a really good picture you can be proud of.

We’ll be taking Portraits (in pairs) and Still-life style object photography.”
