beyond auto workshop
from auto to manual
Who's it for?
My Beyond Auto Workshop is designed for women who want to get to the next level with their camera, but don’t know where to start. It's all about you — your pace, your goals, and your journey. Together, we’ll make photography simple and fun.
It’s perfect for:
- The Beginner: You’ve got a great camera but feel overwhelmed by all the buttons and settings. You’re ready to move beyond auto mode and take control of your photography.
- The Creative Spirit: You love capturing moments and have an eye for beautiful things, but lack the technical knowledge to translate your vision into stunning photos.
- The Learner: You’re excited to gain confidence with your camera in a supportive environment where no question is too basic, and no skill level is too small.
why is Beyond Auto for women only?
- Building Confidence: I know that women often learn best in a setting where they feel comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow at their own pace. It's a safe space designed to boost your confidence with your camera in a judgment-free zone.
- Tailored Approach: Women tend to have unique perspectives and learning styles when it comes to creativity. My focus is on customising the experience to resonate with your individual goals, helping you unlock your full potential as a photographer.
