About the Event
This class is intended for people who are just starting or wanting to learn photography. This class will deal with the basic concepts of photography and will not cover advanced topics like Post-processing photos or specialized topics like Landscape photography. Those advanced topics will have to be discussed separately since it requires a little bit of mastery on the concepts of photography.
The aim of this class is for beginners to have a quick start at developing skills for taking better photographs that they use in their everyday lives i.e. travel, food blogging, etc.

Are Materials Provided
We will not give printed hand outs because we believe that we must reduce our carbon foot print. However, you will have exclusive access to a private page here in this website where class notes are placed. This will ensure that you will have access to the materials anytime, anywhere at your perusal. Isn’t that great?!
Are There Any Prerequisite to This Class
Short answer: None. Come as you are.
Long Answer: We recommend that you bring a camera with you with manual controls for Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO so that you can apply the theories on practical exercises we will do during the class. However, if you don’t have a camera, you can bring your mobile phones (as most smart phone camera has a pro mode). If still you don’t have a mobile phone, you can still attend class and probably make friends with your classmates so you can use their cameras with their supervision.
