"Don't Take The Photo!" (Any camera)

There will be a handful of photos on your camera or smartphone that you can truly say, “I love that shot” or “That’s my favourite photo.”

The reality is that you have probably taken dozens of images to get that one! Stop wasting shots, and time, and start taking better photos when you eventually press that shutter!

This new workshop looks at photography from a different perspective. By understanding the rules, tricks and tips that professional photographers use, you can start taking ‘your favourite’; image more frequently. 

• Learn what to look for before you even pick your camera up.
• Understand composition.
• Understand how to capture personality.
• Understand your equipment better (whether a smartphone or an expensive SLR)
