About the Workshop

"The Shot" is how we speak through images in the age of photography and video making. There are two major components to this: 1. Composition and Movement, 2. Photographic Elements.

This workshop is dedicated to understanding the second part of "The Shot"

We will familiarize ourselves with the basics of a camera, namely the lens types and exposure, and learn the in-camera tools such as aperture, shutter speed, etc. to control the image.

The workshop will be accompanied by Canon EOS 70D Camera which is available for rental at Modern Fuel. This workshop is open to anyone who is interested in the basic operation of a camera regardless of their experience. There is no requirement of undertaking the previous workshop.
