Service Description
Got a camera but still aren’t quite sure how to use it? Photography Foundations is a hands-on beginner workshop designed to help you understand your camera, get comfortable with the settings, and start taking more intentional photos. This 3-hour workshop begins inside Create & Capture Studio, where we’ll break down photography in an easy-to-understand way. You’ll learn about your camera controls, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, the exposure triangle, focus points, basic composition, natural light, and how to begin moving beyond Auto Mode. Then it’s time to put what you learned into practice! We’ll travel approximately 1–2 minutes to a nearby park for guided outdoor shooting. You’ll practice adjusting your settings in real time, finding and using natural light, improving composition, choosing better backgrounds and angles, focusing on your subject, and seeing how small changes can completely transform a photograph.
