Description: Are you feeling overwhelmed by your camera’s settings and stuck in auto mode? Unlock the full potential of your DSLR or mirrorless camera with this comprehensive 3-hour crash course led by Briana Fillers at the William King Museum of Art. Whether you’re an aspiring photographer or a hobbyist looking to refine your skills, you’ll learn to master your camera’s manual settings and elevate your photography.

Award-winning Bristol-based photographer Briana Fillers will guide you through this crash course drawing on her own experience of transitioning from auto mode in 2010. She’ll help you understand how to adjust settings on your specific DSLR or mirrorless camera to change your photos’ brightness and clarity, allowing you to finally create photos that look just the way you want. Briana will also offer a glimpse into the contents of her camera bag, providing you with valuable tips and tricks accumulated from over a decade of professional experience. At the end of the crash course, you’ll put theory into practice with a short hands-on shooting session that will help you leave with the confidence to keep using your camera after the crash course is finished.

To ensure a high-quality learning experience, class size is limited, so reserve your spot by October 19. Young photographers under 18 are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Embrace your camera’s potential – sign up now and start capturing images with confidence!

FAQs (you can add more or change these as you see fit)

Do I have a Digital SLR or mirrorless camera? 

If you can detach the lens from the camera body and replace it with another compatible lens, your camera is likely a DSLR.

Is this course suitable for beginners with no prior photography experience?

Absolutely! This crash course caters to individuals of all skill levels, including those who are completely new to photography.

What should I bring to the class?

Please bring a pen to take notes in the provided workbook, your DSLR camera (if you have one), a fully charged battery, and any camera accessories you have. If you don’t own a camera yet, let us know during online registration, and we will have a loaned camera from WKMA ready for you on arrival.
