Have you ever looked at a stunning photograph and wished you could capture images like that yourself? Whether you've just bought a camera, always use the automatic setting or simply want to get more from your photography, this friendly beginner course is the perfect place to start.

During the course, you will develop your skills in a relaxed and supportive environment, learning how simple changes to composition, lighting and camera settings can make a real difference to your photographs. With guidance from an experienced tutor, you'll build confidence, explore your creativity and enjoy taking photographs of family, friends, landscapes and everyday moments.

As your confidence grows, you'll have the opportunity to practise new techniques, learn alongside other photography enthusiasts and discover how to get the very best from your camera.

What will I learn?

During this course, you will learn how to move beyond the automatic setting and gain a better understanding of how your camera works. You'll explore composition, lighting, aperture, shutter speed and ISO, discovering how these work together to help you create stronger, more effective photographs.
