If you’re getting a camera for Christmas, the workshops are ideal for giving you the basics and confidence to really know how to go out and create that shot.

If you have time to read your camera manual over the holidays, then the composition workshop would be ideal. In this we will teach you ‘how to look and how to see’ to help you snap something unique; this you won’t find in the manual!

If like most of us, you won’t be getting round to reading your manual, then join others for some fun and learn all about your settings in a lively and practical group workshop.
