WHAT YOU WILL NEED
All skill levels are welcome, but it is assumed that you will have a basic understanding of manual DSLR settings, including shutter speeds, aperture and ISO settings. Knowledge of Photoshop is preferable.
You will need to bring your own DSLR and lens. All the mentors primarily use a 50mm lens with newborns so that would be our recommendation, however, if you are happy to work with a different lens, that’s fine by us. Please remember extra memory cards and batteries.
Lunch is only provided for those attending a full day covering both workshops.
THE DAY OF THE WORKSHOP
