5 Week Evening Course
For Intermediates

This is our new and highly recommended photography class if you already know basic photography concepts (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, depth of field) and functions of your camera (when to use different shooting modes, different focus modes, etc) and you want to improve in all fields.

*** If you are not yet fully comfortable with these concepts, we recommend our beginners weekday class instead. ***

This class consists of 2 hour weekly classes over 5 weeks. Coming out of this course, you will be able to start recognising good light, know how to capture any moment, use available light or use flash and know what to do during editing. In other words, you will learn all you need to know to take great photos.

The homework is specially designed to make you use what you have already learned and encounter problems that we will cover in the next session. This way, you will both internalize what we already covered and come to the session with correct questions and an open mind.

What do I have to bring?

  • Basic knowledge of exposure triangle, depth of field, camera functions.
  • Your camera: DSLR or mirrorless or superzoom
  • No camera? No problem. We offer free camera hire during the course (just tell us in advance).
  • Positive attitude and passion for visual arts

If you expect to miss one of the sessions due to your schedule, no problem. You can always join the same session from the following month’s course.

This course will cover:

Overview of each week:

  • Week 1: Working the scene, “Crash Composition” – how to capture any moment.
  • Week 2: Advanced camera functions, different kinds of light + Night photography
  • Week 3: How to manage light + using flash
  • Week 4: Portrait photography tips + The art of editing
  • Week 5: Editing continued + Cameras, Lenses, photography gear.
