1: Understanding Your Camera (Nov)

Not ready to commit to the full 4-week course? Join a single live session and see what it’s actually like to learn with us.

New camera sitting in a cupboard, or still shooting on auto because the buttons feel overwhelming? This single session is the perfect starting point for beginner photography in Melbourne, no full course commitment needed.

In this hands-on class, you’ll get to know your digital SLR or mirrorless camera properly: what every dial and menu actually does, RAW vs JPEG, how to hold your camera for stability, and what each shooting mode is really for. It’s the class most people wish they’d had before they bought their camera.

Perfect if you’re a complete beginner, picked up a camera recently, or just want to finally stop Googling “what camera should I buy as a beginner” and start using the one you’ve got.

What to bring:

• Digital SLR or mirrorless camera
• Charged battery
• Memory card
• Please test your gear before the session so nothing’s a surprise on the day

A relaxed, small group environment at Loop, no experience required and no silly questions.

Loved it? The full 4-week course covers everything from the start, at a better price per session than booking one-off.
