outdoor photography workshop

I needed to start saving money for a better lens with better glass. The fact was that lenses were expensive… and still are. I also begun to realise that it was all about the lens and the body was secondary. People often get this confused.

There are many products and brands to choose from, all with different purposes and price tags, so make sure you have done your research, had some practical experience working with lighting and asked all the right questions.

Remember big shoots for big brands cost money, and involve much planning and responsibility, so understand what is required and maintain focus in order to be successful.

There are even short courses that provide, not only the reading material and notes, but professional advice and camera gear, providing great opportunities for practical application and camera choice when  you are ready to buy your camera. A great teacher is everything.

Consider that with any skill, training is required which is often costly and takes time, thereafter, you will need to have a budget of equipment and the necessary camera gear to do the job effectively. Finally, there is the marketing, this is actually where you build awareness and a client base for your business.

For the everyday amateur photographer, it is about “having the eye”. It is all about the way you see the subject that you are shooting, the way the light catches it, and of course, your composition and style to make your photograph standout from the norm.

Entering into the world of photography can be quite daunting when it comes to buying the right camera gear and lenses that meet your budget and requirements.

Street photography can take on many forms, from candid to reportage, journalism and portraiture, to war correspondence. The essence and the underlying message are similar in all genres, that being expression and mood in the way you intend to tell the story visually.

The usual question… can I make a living as a Photographer? The answer is YES. Most photographers either run their own businesses and work for themselves, while others prefer a more regular and salaried agency styled job, the choice is yours, and what best suits your situation and personality drive.

There is nothing quite like a tailor-made photographic tour in the countryside, with a team of friends, where you will learn basic to advanced techniques, which are tailor-made to your skill level.
