Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from amateurs to professionals. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.
Complete beginner? Please complete a Beginners Photography Class before attending a regular group session. This is a 3 hour structured workshop where you’ll learn the basics of using your camera with more 1-on-1 time with the instructor. Scroll down for dates.
What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!
What’s involved? Each session starts with an introduction to the theme, and the photography instructor will chat about the camera settings and techniques to use. You’ll then have time to take lots of photos, with the instructor present to answer any questions. You’ll receive feedback and have a chance to chat with everyone to share tips and ideas. We’re a social bunch!
After group editing session. After each group the instructor runs an optional 1.5 hour critique, select, and edit session to help you improve your important post-shoot skills. While much editing can be done on modern cameras, it's best to bring a tablet or laptop with editing software to get the most out of this session. Select this option when booking to attend.
The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

Just perfect for a beginner, and those like me still struggling a little to understand how ISO, shutter speed and aperture work to gether to create a good image. The instructor was great.

It was a small event so it took patience to get a good shot that told one part of a larger story. I’m compiling my visual story from todays outing as we speak. It was truly education & fun. 🙏

it was the challenge i hoped for. Rebecca did a fine job checking in with each photographer and asking to see their images and offering observations and advice. With so many stories to tell at a venue like this, and with the photojournalism guidelines to tell a story for the paper, etc. I had to force my self to visualize what i wanted others to see about this event, not just the subjects in front of the lens. fun venue ,

I loved the detail discription and scenario’s for the ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed. Taking pictures putting it all to use was amazing. The discussions were very informative also.

Wonderful day for a photo group event, at Sabino Canyon, where there was abundant opportunities to apply the "rule of thirds". Many thanks to our instructor, Julian Ybarra, for his guidance & suggestions.
