Capture the moment: An introduction to photography

Love taking photos, but feel like you don't know how to use your camera properly? Want to learn the secrets of composition, exposure, and manual mode? Enjoy meeting new people who share your passion for photography?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this workshop is for you!

Join in for a fun and relaxed session where you'll learn the basics of photography from a professional photographer. You'll discover how to adjust your camera settings to get the best results, and how to use different angles, lighting, and techniques to capture stunning images.

But this isn't a boring lecture. This is a hands-on workshop where you'll get to practice your skills in the beautiful and historic Jewellery Quarter. You'll explore the streets and buildings of this vibrant area, and snap some amazing photos along the way.

And don't worry, you won't be alone. You'll be part of a friendly group of like-minded people who love photography as much as you do. You'll also have the chance to chat and mingle with them over a delicious coffee and cake at a cosy cafe before the workshop starts.

Grab your DSLR, mirrorless, or compact camera, and join us for this fun and easy introduction to photography. You'll leave feeling confident, inspired, and ready to take your photography to the next level. See you soon!
