About the course:

Learn how to shoot, edit, organise and print your work...because how we see the world shapes how we care for it.

The essence of great photography is in the story — visual storytelling has strong ties to social and environmental consciousness.

Each month, we will share new techniques to enable you to deepen your storytelling through photography. Each monthly session will involve hands-on photography as well as an editing session where we will ‘develop’ our favourite photo from the session to share on the group's support on WhatsApp.

In June 2026 we will deep dive into advanced editing and organising, where we’ll explore advanced tips and techniques to transform your photos with clarity, colour and feeling. Learn how to enhance landscapes, portraits and travel shots while keeping your edits natural and expressive. With supportive guidance and hands-on practice, this final session is about refining your eye, boosting your confidence, and celebrating how far you’ve come. this includes how to keep your photos organised so you can find them when you need them! .

"You may love to take photos when you travel, or you may love photographing your pets, or enjoy photographing the kids...whatever you love taking photos of, this course will help you immensely!"
