Beginner Lifestyle Photography + product styling
What to ExpectBeginner Lifestyle Photography is a two-week small group or semi-private workshop designed to equip you with the skills and know-how to create beautiful images.
The first week of this course concentrates on the skills needed to get your DSLR or Mirrorless camera off ‘auto’ mode and onto ‘manual’ mode to give you all the tools you need to create beautiful images. Whether you are a business owner needing imagery for your blog, website or social media channels, or a creative individual wanting to learn photography for personal use, I will teach you all the photography basics to transform your images into memorable and engaging photos. Like all of my workshops, the content is taught through a combination of theory and hands-on practice.
At the conclusion of the workshop you will have an understanding of how to use your camera on manual mode, basic photography essentials and an insight into the editing tools available.
For small business owners, the Beginner Photography workshop dovetails with a second workshop - Styling for Photography - specifically designed to teach how to style products for photography. Held over consecutive weeks, the second workshop in the series, provides a chance for you to use your newly acquired photography skills from week one and concentrates on the styling aspect of product photography in week two. Learn how to style a range of products to create engaging imagery for your business and social media.
At the conclusion of the two-part workshop series, you will walk away with the confidence to build a portfolio of beautiful, on-brand and engaging images to enhance your business.
