Photography Masterclass 23/24

About This Workshop

The Photography Masterclass offers students an immersive year-long experience, delving deep into the world of photography.

This comprehensive course comprises ten modules, each accompanied by photo assignments to be completed between sessions. Students have the flexibility to choose whether they prefer working independently on their assignments or collaborating with fellow group members.

​

Each session spans three and a half hours, providing ample time for reviewing assignment images and engaging in practical exercises when appropriate. It's important to note that the class is not conducted in August and December, allowing for a brief hiatus during those months.

​

The Masterclass is scheduled on weekends, commencing at 10:30 am and concluding at 2:00 pm. Please refer to the dates below for the upcoming season.

What kit would be ideal for the course?

Virtually any digital camera can be used, although models with interchangeable lenses such as DSLR cameras or the latest "Mirrorless" technology cameras are particularly advantageous.

​

The course accommodates owners of Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Sony, and Pentax cameras.

​

Additionally, throughout the duration of the program, it is recommended to have a portable flash gun. For the two editing modules, access to Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop is essential. Certain prime lenses will also be beneficial for your assignment work, alongside a sturdy tripod and filters.

Rest assured, guidance regarding equipment choices will be provided to assist you in making informed decisions.
