Bestside Photography Launches Photo Workshops In York

Online, September 29, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Millions of us have quality camera - many with expensive DSLRs. But how many of us know how to use them?!

As a professional photographer with York's Bestside Photography, I've provided many people with snippits of information. I often give out tips to guests at weddings (only the ones who don't get in my way!), as well as doing 1 to 1 tuition.

I have a passion for photography, and like most passions, I'm keen to share it. That's why I enjoy judging photo competitions, as I get to offer people advice as will as choose my favourite photos.

I regularly attend workshops - there's always something else to learn.

It recently dawned on me that there is a lack of options for people who just want to learn to take better photos. Sure, you can go to a camera club. But there's good reason why most people don't. Think beards and real ale, and you're close.

Or you could go to nightschool. You attend every week for months, to get tips from a tutor of questionable quality and background.

Better options are few and far between. This is why at Bestside Photography, we've launched a series of 1 and 2 day photo workshops.

As millions of visitors know, York is a fabulous venue for photography. We also have venues on the doorstep, such as Dalby Forrest, Harewood House, and the East Coast.

Our workshops cover a range of venues, but all follow the same theme. We start with a couple of hours learning a bit of theory. This is essential to get the best from your camera, but we keep it to a minimum, and give it a practical context.
Then we hit the road for a tour of York, taking in the popular venues, as well as some most tourists won't see.

For our popular 2 day workshops, we then do some night-shooting. the following day includes more useful theory, lots of practice, and a review of your photos.

It's hugely satisfying to see people progress so quickly; from shooting everything on Auto, to using manual and programme modes to tell the camera what they want to achieve.

Our clients leave with a collection of photos they're dying to show off, and a huge boost in both confidence and in enthusiasm.
