We focus on practical 'hands on' shooting with a strong emphasis on camera handling - not sitting in a classroom learning theory. There's intuitive instruction on lighting and composition along with everything from exposure control to white balance, from ISO settings to focus options. This 4 hour intensive course is about practical demonstrations to train your eye to 'paint' light onto a subject, how to select the right lens and the use of aperture and shutter speed to control the creative process.

This course is ideal for those wishing to understand and get the best out of their current DLSR Camera. If you do not have a digital camera yet, we hire cameras allowing you to find out what camera system suits your needs and budget. Just let us know at the time of booking if you would like to hire a camera.

The Perth Beginners Photography course is suitable for anyone - singles, parents, students, travellers, journalists, government, business and corporate employees, sole traders, graphic designers. It's the best 'all rounder' introductory course to Digital Photography in Perth.
