Who are the workshops for? Beginners and absolute beginners.
When and where are the workshops? This page lists the times, dates, venues, directions, parking details, and wheelchair accessibility of each workshop. Workshops last 2 hours, and you can choose from a variety of venues across Brisbane.
What do I need to know already? How to put in batteries and memory card (or film), how to turn the camera on, and how to take a photo and see photos you have taken on your camera's screen
How technical does it get? Not at all. If you're one of the 95% of people who want to just take great photos without having to learn about apertures and shutter speeds, you've come to the right place.
What's not covered? Apertures and shutter speeds (see our advanced course for this - coming soon); getting images onto your computer; editing images on your computer; or the ins-and-outs of every function on your camera (except for all the key functions for great people shots)
What kind of camera do I need? Anything digital or film. Even a mobile phone camera with an optical zoom will be fine. We focus on digital, but the rules all apply to film cameras too. If you have both, bring both, but use the digital camera for most of the exercises so you can see the result.
What should I bring? Your camera with fresh batteries and enough space on a memory card to take at least 60 photos. No need to bring your instruction manual, as we read it for you and make cheat cards customised to your exact camera model. If you're using film, we recommend that you bring one roll of 400 speed or 800 speed print film.
