If you're looking to become more proficient behind the camera, this digital photography level 2 course is the perfect workshop for you. This two-day activity combines complex theory with practical exercises – such as location shooting and equipment demonstrations – to give you the advanced tools you need. You will learn the photography techniques required to create the professional and creative photographs you’ve dreamed of capturing.

Throughout this photography course, you will learn:

  • Light – Understand the colour and behaviour of light, including natural, artificial, direction, shape, form and quality.

  • Camera settings – Explore multiple settings and commands on DSLR cameras.

  • Lenses – Learn about lens selection, accessories and the fine adjustment of your lens and focusing.

  • Advanced focus – Learn about hyperfocal distance and how to take sharp images of still or moving objects.

  • Light meter – Metering your subject and metering modes explained in depth.

  • White balance – Understand how to achieve correctly colour-balanced images.

  • Exposure – All intermediate-level exposure photography techniques are covered, including exposure bracketing, exposure compensation and the magic triangle dynamics.

  • Histograms – Learn how to read histograms and benefit from this info to achieve better-balanced exposures.

  • Flash – Discover how to achieve greater images using your flashgun or speedlite.

  • Accessories – Learn about camera accessories that can enhance photographs, including reflectors, diffusers and light shapers.

Above all, this course will show you the importance of ‘making’ rather than ‘taking’ a photograph. You'll leave with a renewed perspective, equipped with the knowledge of how to confidently create beautifully composed images.

What to bring

We recommend you bring the following equipment with you to the course:

  • DSLR or mirrorless camera with full manual controls
  • Your camera’s manual
  • Fully charged battery
  • An empty memory card
  • Comfortable shoes
  • External flash (for some classes, if owned)

This course requires a digital DSLR or mirrorless camera with full manual controls. If you do not have access to either of these, we can provide you with a DSLR camera. We will also provide all other necessary props and accessories.

You’ll also need a good knowledge of aperture, camera lenses, shutter speed and ISO including exposure modes.
