Join us for an immersive 3-hour DSLR photography workshop designed specifically for beginners. This dynamic walking tour experience is perfect for anyone looking for fun and educational things to do in Melbourne.
Our workshop begins by familiarising you with the basics of photography and exploring different camera types and their functionalities. With expert guidance from a professional photographer, you'll learn to adjust essential settings like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, helping you break away from auto mode and take full control of your images.
Our small group size, limited to just six participants, ensures you receive personalised instruction as you discover essential techniques for lighting and composition—the keys to capturing professional-quality photos. You’ll master the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing to enhance your visual storytelling while exploring Melbourne’s most photogenic locations. Additionally, we'll cover how to harness natural light, whether you're shooting in the golden hour or during midday.
Throughout the course, you'll have ample opportunities to practice, experiment, and receive real-time feedback, equipping you with the confidence and skills to create exceptional images. Whether you're an aspiring photographer or a hobbyist looking to improve your shots, this engaging workshop will elevate your photography to new heights.
