Photography Training

If you have a camera and aren’t sure how to get the best from it I’ll take you through the features and explain

• Why and how you should use semi-automatic and manual modes rather than fully automatic
• Shutter speed, aperture and ISO, what they are, the relationship between them and how to get creative
• What colour temperature and white balance are and how best to use them
• Focussing modes and when to use manual focussing rather than auto
• The different types of light
• The essential filters and how and when to use them
• The rules of composition and the colour wheel

This information links together to give you the fundamental elements to enable you to control your camera and become a better photographer.

One thing worth stressing here is it’s absolutely not about the gear!

Even basic cameras are capable of taking high-quality photographs. What counts is how you use the equipment that you have.

Training is on a one to one basis which means that you can ask me anything at any time and for all of the areas above it can take up to a full day. Before the day I’ll research your camera so that I can make the training more personal to you. You get a series of work sheets to keep for reference and I bring my equipment so that I can demonstrate and you can practice. It’s interactive and fun! The price is £495 for the full day, or £95 per hour for upto four hours, (plus expenses if outside the Sheffield area).
