Rotterdam Photographic

This workshop is limited to only 4 participants.

Do you have a camera but still feel unsure about using it in manual mode? Or maybe you don’t own a camera yet and would like guidance before buying one?

Join me to learn the fundamentals of photography, and the key manual settings that will give you full creative control. I will teach you how to use any type of camera, whether digital or analogue. After the introduction to each topic, we’ll spend time practicing together. I’ll review your shots and the manual settings you used.
If you join our Let's go out and take photos! events, you will get the opportunity to practicing while I'm around to help.
