If you’ve bought a “real” camera but still shoot everything on auto — this is the reset you’ve been waiting for.

In just one afternoon, we’ll turn that overwhelmed feeling into control, confidence, and clarity.

What You’ll Learn (No Jargon Required):

How to shoot in Manual, Aperture, and Shutter Priority modes — and actually understand them
The Exposure Triangle made simple (ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture)
How to create background blur, freeze action, or add motion
Why your photos don’t “pop” — and exactly how to fix them
Easy composition tricks that make every shot look better

Who It’s For:

Beginners who want to stop relying on auto
Hobbyists who feel stuck or frustrated
Creatives who need to shoot their own content
Anyone who wants real results — not just another YouTube tutorial

You’ll get simple theory, guided practice, and real-time feedback — all in a supportive small group.

Bring your camera (DSLR or mirrorless), a charged battery, and any lens you love.
