For Complete Beginners

Experience Based Class
Self Discovery Through Photography
Equipment Provided
This workshop is designed for complete beginners who want to fuel their minds and bodies with de-stress focused photography techniques, through which they will bring more awareness about their abilities, feelings and characters.
Photography itself is a form of art that reduces one's stress and helps one recharge the mind to cope with everyday challenges. For people who have already learned the fundamentals of photography or shot on a camera, we have various levels of classes that suit their needs.
However, we also want to take care of the complete beginners who merely want to recharge without going through the numbers and jargons in photography.
We will show you how to shoot beautiful images using the most basic settings on the equipment that we provide during the class in this therapeutic journey.
Our equipment is super easy to use! You will skip the technical side of photography and instantly dive to the fun part: learning how to control the background blur, the brightness of a photo and more. You'll play with the lighting, explore creative composition and try out a lot of fun photography exercises such as macro photography.
You will be encouraged to express your emotions through the images, be mindful of the present by noticing the color, the light & shadow and the forms & shapes of the subjects.
Very often, the process results in a deep satisfaction, inner peace and personal growth.

Note (Please read):
- While attendees will still learn the basic photography knowledge such as controlling the brightness and background blur, this class does NOT share technical photography knowledge such as the ISO, aperture, shutter speed and the exposure modes (The Av, Tv, S and M Modes).
- Throughout the class, attendees are shooting on the FULL AUTO MODE. The goal is to let go off all the mental burden and focus on the present moment, rather than learning the professional photography skills.
- To learn the technical knowledge in photography and start your professional journey as a photographer, please sign up the Beginners and the Intermediate I & II Workshops.
- If you are an intermediate/ advance level photographer, we will recommend you to sign up for our in-depth level workshops, through which you can also de-stress and have fun in learning to take the photos that match your skill level.
