At Learn Photography we offer courses that cover the basic concepts of digital photography and how your camera works. Our courses are designed to unravel some of the confusing jargon and take you from 'happy snapper' to confident photographer by showing you how to get more from your digital SLR camera.

Choose from our SLR and practical photography courses, workshops, studio or one-to-one private tuition.

Strictly limited to just five participants, our day-long workshop is designed with digital DSLR users in mind and combines theory along with plenty of picture taking with a break for lunch and time for questions and trying out new found techniques.

Morning session (10am - 1pm)
The morning session is all about tackling the theory and guiding you through the key features of your camera. You will learn how to control the aperture, shutter speed and ISO for absolute creative control of the exposure and discover how to shoot confidently in the manual mode - no more Auto!
The first two hours of the morning session are held in a class room environment with views over the Brisbane river, we then move outside for some practical tips before breaking for lunch.

Afternoon session (2pm - 6pm)
After lunch we will take a casual walk around the South Bank parklands area where there will be plenty of opportunities to explore different techniques including controlling depth of field, capturing moving subjects, using shutter speeds creatively and shooting in low light as the sun sets over Brisbane.
