Photography for beginners

I believe the recipe for a rewarding and memorable experience is to provide a synergy between travel and photography and to attract like-minded people to learn and share accordingly the beautiful Cape Peninsula and its world class surrounds

Finding a great outdoor photography workshop in Cape Town is fairly simple. Being such a beautiful place and so highly ranked as a travel destination. Ensure that the style in which the workshop is run meets with your interests and goals, let it be capturing different genres, let it be landscapes, street photography, or wildlife, Cape Town's diverse offerings have something for everyone.

Portrait photography is all about the lighting in order to establish the desired mood, highlight the features, and capture the subject's essence and character.

AI is a tool that photographers can embrace to enhance their work, streamline their workflow, and explore new creative possibilities. It is a powerful ally rather than a replacement for skilled photographers.

Most import that you realise from the beginning is that there are really not rules, just like in fashion and "the arts". The way to approach learning photography is to develop your style, the way the camera settings work comes second. The camera just follow your instruction to capture your photograph. 

Photographing flowers and landscape in Autumn can be a beautiful way to capture the changing colours and textures of the season. to achieve great results take note of the suggested tips like time of day and explore the power of light in the golden hour

Consider what you will be using the camera for and what features are most important to you. Taking pictures in manual mode gives you greater control over your camera settings, so make sure you intend a short workshop before making your final decision so you receive the best advice to serve your photography needs.

Education is key and should be available for all. Here are a few suggestions which have been implemented by one of Cape Town’s Leading Photography Schools catering for all kinds of photography training:

It is for this reason, and being passionate about photography, that I am going to layout the facts, and the importance to assist you in making the right choices in selecting an institution or photography school that will meet your expectations and take you to the level you expect.

Competition and technology is high, so I suggest that you don’t go by the what the box says, but rather ask the sales person to demo the camera for you

Make sure your editing skills are defined and live up to the expectations of the job. Poor editing can leave a really nasty finish and may even detract from the intention of the photograph.

It all starts off with a great photograph. An image that is captured well and represents the property in it best light and form, is what initially will attract the attention of the buyer to start reading the details in the advert.

Photographers today that are working in the industry are tending to become more specialised in the field they are best, or, again, to better themselves in the genres that are financially viable in their scope and ability to deliver

There are many so called electronic retailers that sell camera gear and lighting, however, you will sometimes encounter in store service knowledge that is not far from zero when asking about the gear. Do your costing and price comparisons, as well as the credibility relating to the store before you walk through the door.

My advice is develop your style and use “the eye for photography” that you have been gifted to use

Often you see a photograph that someone has taken and you ask yourself that question...how did the person take this photograph or is this just editing

Locations play a major role in bringing out the emotions and “the story” behind the image
