Learn Your Camera – Hands-On Training at Matte Black Camera Rentals & Studio

Whether you’re brand new to photography or just ready to finally get your camera off “Auto,” this beginner-friendly workshop will give you the confidence to take control of your camera and create beautiful, intentional images.
In this hands-on session, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the fundamentals of photography and camera operation — no matter your brand or system. You’ll learn:

• ISO – How to adjust your camera’s sensitivity to light
• Shutter Speed – How to control motion blur and sharpness
• Aperture (f-stop) – How to create dreamy backgrounds or tack-sharp landscapes
• Exposure – Balancing light for a perfect image
• Color & White Balance – Making sure your colors look true-to-life

We’ll work directly with you and your camera to show you exactly where and how to change these settings. A live model will be on set so you can immediately apply what you learn in real shooting scenarios.
What to Bring:

• Your camera (DSLR, mirrorless, or advanced compact — all welcome)
• A charged battery and memory card
• Your curiosity and creativity

By the end of this workshop, you’ll understand how to confidently control your camera’s settings in a manual mode to take better photos.
