Course description
Beginners Guide to Digital Photography is aimed at complete beginners who own a Digital SLR or Mirrorless camera and want to maximise its potential.
Held in the evenings and based in a classroom environment, this course includes three sessions which run over three weeks.
As well as learning theory, participants will undertake a range of practical exercises both indoors and outdoors and will be set small practical assignments in between each session.
Each participant on the digital photography course will learn how to fully operate their Digital camera as well as understand the fundamentals of photography, such as how to make correct exposures and understand the relationship between Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO.
You will also learn the creative effects that can be achieved with a camera, for example creating a shallow Depth of Field to blur the background as commonly seen in portraiture as well as making sure the entire image is in focus which is very important in landscape and architectural photography for example.
You will also learn how to freeze and blur motion using shutter speed creatively.
Participants will be provided with a course handout but are encouraged to take notes during the class.

‘I have just completed the Beginners Guide Level 1 with Liane Harris and am about to sign up for Level 2 next. The course is great for Beginner’s like me who mainly use the ‘Auto’ button on their DSLR and want to get to grips with the ‘real’ features of their cameras. Already, my photography has improved so much that I will never switch back to Auto mode.’
★★★★★ Fran Katerbaum
‘Really great course which teaches you everything you need to know about your DSLR camera and how to get the most out of it. I went there because I use photography for work, but after the course, I really wanted to take up photography as a hobby, it was just so inspiring!’
★★★★★ Anne Nordheim
‘I recently took the level 1 Beginners course to digital photography and I was absolutely thrilled at how the course was carried out. I have improved my basic photography skills in terms of aperture, shutter speed, composition, metering, panning, light trailing… and the list goes on. I now know exactly what a DSLR is supposed do do in my hands!!.’
★★★★★ Dana Bozic
‘I was really pleased, I came away from the day with all the fundamental tools to inspire me to use my camera properly and get off the auto mode. Our tutor was fabulous- enthusiastic, patient, explained everything really well and made the day fun. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to move up a gear in using your camera and being more creative behind the lens.’
