You'll be taking images of substance of Bondi's finest : the surfers, the lifesavers, the sunbathers and graffiti amongst a whole tonne of other stuff.
Photos don't tell stories - they show them. They can make people feel the emotions captured in that fragment of time. Come along and discover the playfulness of the dance between light and dark as you learn how to control exposure and light.
Gain a tactile skill to easily capture the beauty in the mundane, the story behind those stranger's eyes because that's what your viewers really want to see and you will cherish for a lifetime. Learn how to freeze the story right in front of your eyes with framing and composition techniques. Captivate your followers on social media with a consistent look and style for your feed that is imprinted with your essence.
With your camera you'll explore the beauty of the landscape, understand how to setup for street photography and take candid portraits, play with colour and black and white and learn how to capture the nuances of architecture and master lifestyle images.
