We strongly encourage you to sign up this class together with the Intermediate I & II Workshops to get a comprehensive knowledge in the basics of photography. You will be able to shoot proficiently in the Manual Mode after completing the Beginner & Intermediates Workshops.

It is our ultimate goal to show attendees how to shoot on any equipment using the core settings that we teach in the class..

Attendees are welcome to bring their own cameras, and we will show them how to use these equipment by the end of the class. 

Attendees are required to use the equipment that we provide throughout this workshop, so the whole class can move at the same pace. Most importantly, it is easier to understand the basics with the equipment that we provide. Since the settings we teach can be effortlessly transferred to other cameras, attendees will be able to apply the exact same settings to their own equipment by the end of the class with the help of the instructor.

Secondly, we want to maximize your learning experience. In the middle of the class, it will be frustrating to pause the class when the instructor is helping each attendee figure out the settings in their own cameras. Every attendee should be able to adjust the settings correctly in their own equipment once they've grasped the photography concepts. Our instructors will make sure you know how to do it before you leave.  We promise.

1. You'll learn how to shoot on a DSLR camera in the Beginners' Workshop and a Mirrorless camera in the Intermediate Workshops.

It is essential for beginners to learn the basics using a DSLR camera, so that they can move their way up to a more sophisticated, mirrorless camera in the Intermediate Workshops.

2. If you are an existing DSLR camera user, please sign up for the Beginners' Workshop before moving on to the Intermediate Workhops. We will show you how to use a DSLR camera to its fullest, and you'll be amazed to use a mirrorless camera as you progress.

*We will explain the difference between a DSLR vs Mirrorless cameras in the Beginners' Workshop. Or check out the next FAQ.

You'll learn the difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera in great detail in the Beginners' Workshop. In summary, the advantages of mirrorless cameras over traditional DSLRs are:

1) Faster focusing.

2) Captures an image electronically rather than optically, allowing more accurate focusing.

3) Have Eye AF (automatically places and locks the focus on a human/ animal eye, resulting in sharper portraits).

4) Allows live view shooting, which means the users can instantly see the exposure and composition on the LCD screen. Note that the "live view mode" of a DSLR camera do not work in the same efficient way as a mirrorless one.

5) Lighter.

6) Will fully replace DSLR cameras in a few years.

In general, Google 

"_your camera model + dslr or mirrorless?"

and you will see the result.

Unforunitely, the answer is no, even the guest is willing to wait in the building's public area instead of the classroom.

Due to COVID-19, the class is only limited to the attendees and the instructors.
