This workshop is highly interactive – you’re encouraged to bring your own camera (DSLR, mirrorless, or advanced compact), a notepad to take notes, as well as your questions, and so you can learn how to use your equipment effectively. Our focus is not just on theory, but on practice: you’ll get to apply what you learn in real time, with expert guidance every step of the way.
