Want to get more out of your camera and take better photos?

This beginner-friendly course will introduce you to the essential skills and techniques behind great photography. Across four Thursday evening sessions, you’ll learn how to confidently use your camera settings and understand the key principles that make an image work.

You’ll explore how to shoot in manual mode, control exposure, and use settings like shutter speed and aperture to achieve the results you want. The course also includes a Saturday field trip, where you’ll put your new skills into practice in a real-world setting.

You’ll learn how to:

  • use your camera in manual mode with confidence
  • control exposure using shutter speed and aperture
  • understand key photography principles
  • apply techniques in practical shooting situations
  • review and discuss your images in a group setting

By the end of the course, you’ll feel more confident using your camera and capturing well-composed, high-quality images.

Held at Wellington High School, central Wellington.

Please bring: a DSLR or mirrorless camera with manual settings (compact cameras are not suitable).
