You will learn how to control your manual camera’s exposure, moving away from limited automatic modes.

This is an eye-opening workshop with hands-on tuition and practice. During the session, the tutor will give you creative advice, ideas on what subjects to shoot, and tips on how to shoot them in an inspiring way. Expect to put all theory you learn into practice.

Do I need any previous skills or knowledge?

Basic knowledge of photography is preferable, with a sound technical knowledge of your own camera.

Will I need any equipment or materials?

You will need your own DSLR or hybrid camera with manual functions.

Will I be assessed?

There is no formal assessment for courses at Bishopsgate Institute. However, to monitor your learning and progress, tutors will assess your participation in classroom activities.
