Video for Beginners – A Practical Introduction to Video for Photographers

Many photographers are keen to explore video using their existing mirrorless cameras — but aren’t sure where to begin, or how video fits alongside still photography.

Video for Beginners is a beginner-friendly, practical session designed specifically for photographers who want to start creating video with confidence.

If you already understand exposure, composition, and light, you’re closer to video than you think. This workshop shows how those same skills translate into motion.

This session covers:

• The fundamentals of video, explained clearly and without jargon
• Key camera settings for video (frame rates, profiles, codecs)
• Composition, movement, and basic storytelling
• Lenses, audio, and lighting essentials
• How video clips can complement and enhance your still photography

No prior video experience is required. This session is about building understanding, confidence, and creative curiosity — not turning you into a filmmaker overnight.

👉 You can attend this session on its own, or with the afternoon Canon EOS C50 workshop for a full day of learning.
