Do you own a camera but still use automatic mode because you’re afraid you won’t be able to master the settings? This photography workshop is perfect for taking control of your camera and bringing your creative ideas to life. Led outdoors by a professional photographer who’s also an experienced instructor, this workshop will help you master the essentials of photography through a practical and accessible approach. It’s like a “music theory for photography” course —designed to help you become more independent and take photos that truly reflect who you are!

Workshop itinerary:

• Mastering the exposure triangle: understand shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to adjust the light and achieve properly exposed photos.
• Playing with depth of field: Learn how to isolate your subject with a blurred background—ideal for portraits—or capture landscapes that are sharp from the foreground all the way to the background.
• Capturing motion: Discover how to freeze fast-moving action or create motion blur effects to add an artistic dimension to your images.
• Compose harmonious images: apply fundamental composition rules, such as the rule of thirds and leading lines, to structure your shots and enhance the visual impact of your photos.

A 100% hands-on and accessible approach, alternating between practical explanations, field exercises, and personalized debriefings of your shots. You’ll leave with a digital summary booklet and free video tutorials after the session to deepen your knowledge and continue improving on your own!
