IMPROVING YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHY.

If you want to take consistently good photos, and understand all the controls on your camera then

why not come on one of Memories Photography Selby’s Basic Photography Courses.

• Perhaps you have a new camera, and you’re not sure how best to use it.
• Maybe you feel that you don’t get the best out of your old camera.
• You might just want to know how to take better photos.

At Memories Photography Selby, I’ve designed a course to improve your photography skills and to help you to make the best possible use of your camera.

Using my 20 years experience as a professional photographer and my skills as a qualified teacher, I’ll teach you how to decide what picture the camera is taking, rather than letting the camera decide for itself. 

During 2019 we had 93 learners completing the course and recieved some fantastic feedback. 

Who is the course suitable for?

Memories Photography Selby’s Basic Photography Course is suitable for all ages. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been taking photos for a while or are a complete beginner.

Whether you have a compact, bridge, hybrid (mirrorless) or DSLR, I can teach you how to enjoy getting the most from your camera.

I’m a qualified tutor and professional photographer, so I’m the ideal person to teach you how to make the best use of your camera. I’m also enhanced CRB checked and insured.

The studio is fully accessible, there is one small step but I can assist you if required.

What will we cover on the course?

During the course, I’ll teach you how to get beyond the ‘Auto’ function. I’ll show you how to use each setting on your camera correctly to take the best photos you can, whatever the situation.

Each of you will have a different camera with varied settings, and will be looking for support with different areas of your photography.  Therefore, I tailor each and every course to suit your requirements.

Some of the things we’ll look at might include using your camera’s manual settings, how to frame your images and control lighting, scene modes and techniques, and how to upload and manipulate your images. We’ll take a variety of photos in different scenarios.  Whether we’re shooting portraits or photographing moving traffic, I’ll be there to guide you and explain how to get the best images.

At the end of the course, you’ll receive a portfolio to take home with you. This will guide you through each area that we’ve covered on the course, and include your own notes from the training.

How will the course run?

I’ll be running one-day courses on selected Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year, the dates will be published and will run as long as there are at least two learners registered.

Other dates and midweek courses can be arranged on request, subject to a minimum of two people attending the course on the same date.

There’ll be a maximum of four other people on the course with you, so I’ll have plenty of time to help each of you individually and guide you through your specific camera settings.

What do I need to bring?

I’ll provide a variety of teas, coffees and hot chocolates, bottled water and soft drinks. You should bring a packed lunch. Obviously you should bring your camera along with you, together with any accessories you may have. The course is designed to be fun and interactive, so bring lots of enthusiasm!

You can find Memories Photography Selby at 115 Doncaster Road, Selby (just opposite Beech Tree Doctors Surgery).
