We’ll be looking at a little theory on how to best manage files and get the most from the various settings on your DSLR camera.

We’ll also be rolling up the sleeves and doing a practical session, looking at achieving great portraits using studio lights with the option to also try shooting with daylight.

Contact Roisin at the studio to find out more and book your spot!

Gift vouchers also available.

Looking to add one more exciting event to your summer?

We have decided to do just one course this summer, which will be a 1 day beginner level course on Saturday June 21st here at our studios in Dublin 8.

We’ll be looking at such things as:

* different file formats and how best to manage them

* understanding and getting the best from the manual settings on your DSLR camera

* an introduction to studio lighting

* working with your subject (our models for the day) and focusing on learning how to achieve a great portrait

* learning how to manage your files in Photoshop after the shoot

Places are limited, and only a few remain, so if you would like to join us then touch base with Roisin at the studios for more details:
