Suitable for beginners, photography students and anyone who would like to understand the camera better.

Whatever your photography skills or camera, whether it’s an advanced Digital SLR or just a small compact camera, this class is designed to teach you to understand how your camera works, how the light works and how to make it work for you.

We will be going through basic camera settings and adjustments like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, the light and lens, how the image is being recorded and other essential settings with detailed explanations how they work and relate to each other and how to make them work for you.

Skills gained in the class will give you better understanding of the theoretical and practical use of your camera setting and will let you do a better judgement for correctly exposed image and a skill to achieve the wow effect just as you wanted it.

The day will be split in two parts, first we will be going through the theory where we will learn the concept of the light and camera understanding all the technicalities we need to know while using it and after lunch we will master the new skills in practise to understand the importance and difference it makes.

On the day we will be going through the following topics:

• The light, what is it and how do we see it?
• Camera Lens – how does it see the light
• What is aperture
• What is shutter speed
• What is ISO
• How does camera settings relate to each other
• What is depth of field and how to use it
• Flash – make it work for you, not against you
