WHAT STUDENTS SAY ...

"I have learnt so much ...  From being totally frustrated, confused and not knowing which button to press or where to start, I am becoming so much more confident with my camera. Thank you.



"My camera was a gift from my son after a college degree achievement in my late 50`s. I only ever used it in auto mode and never understood the other settings!! This course has helped me so much in understanding what can be achieved with lots of practice!!!! I have gained confidence in moving off auto and will look forward to experimenting with various settings to get the best from my camera." Jim 



"I'm loving the course. I particularly like how I can read the words after watching your video. It helps me to process the information better. The course is exactly what I believed I wanted - to get off auto and understand how it all works on manual!" Phil



"I have been working through your course and watching your videos over and over again to get things to stick! Although I knew some of the basics it has been so helpful to go over it all again and it made much more sense this time. I had previously been advised to steer clear of Manual but have now had the confidence to give it a go and discovered that it is not that difficult as your camera still helps out with exposure."  Val

Meet Your Tutor

Hello, I'm Anna. I teach confused photography beginners how to use their cameras properly so they can take amazing photos!

I love the natural world, second-hand bookshops, long walks, the sea, old buildings, cake (although I get really cross when it's served ON TOP of the serviette - why do they do that?!), Earl Grey tea and cats! I'm also a firm believer in saying "no" to anything that doesn't bring me joy - life is too short.

Over 20 years ago I ditched an unsatisfying career in the corporate world to train as a pro photographer. In that time, I photographed corporate folk, families and a fair few VIPs. But for the past 8 years, I've also passed on my wealth of knowledge to hundreds of students just like you, who've attended my group workshops and 1-1 training.

Now you can benefit from exactly the same training, but delivered online at a time and place to suit you. 

My aim is for you to be up and running with your camera in as short a time as possible.

So, What Will This Course Give You?

A Clear Path to Camera Mastery

Learning anything starts with a firm foundation. This course consists of clear, focused lessons to guide you step-by-step through each of the IMPORTANT settings on your camera (you don't need to use ALL of them just because they're in the manual!), what they do, and how to find and adjust them.

The lessons are laid out in a logical sequence so each step leads on to the next. They all join up to create a repeatable system that you can use for photographing anything. The aim of the course is, quite simply, to show you how to use your camera properly, just like a professional; this is your launch pad to great photography.

How it Works

Step-by-step video lessons, with quizzes to test your progress and downloadable infographics to explain the key concepts.

With unlimited access, you can stop, start and rewatch lessons at a time and a place to suit you. Forgotten how to use a particular control? No problem – just replay the lesson until you feel confident. Plus, you can email me at any time with your questions and photos for comments and advice - I want you to succeed!

What to Expect

If you work through the course diligently, and practise using the settings as much as possible, I promise you that you’ll transform your ability to use your camera.

Once you discover the power of getting away from Auto, you’ll never want to go back! And the beauty of having all this knowledge is that it will help you to take photos of whatever it is that YOU love to photograph, whether that’s people, plants, architecture or landscapes - it really doesn’t matter.

"I was even able to explain everything to my husband and he understood! Just had my first solo foray into the butterfly house at Wisley and shocked my children with the results (only used manual mode as well!)"

Here's What You'll Learn With Me

The course is divided into 4 chapters, containing a total of 12 video lessons. There's no fluff and no unnecessary and complicated technical jargon. Each lesson covers just one topic, so you won't feel overwhelmed with information. I explain everything clearly and concisely, using slides and images, complete with my camera settings, to illustrate the key points. You'll find quizzes and assignments within each of the chapters, plus handy PDF downloads of the slides, and infographics to illustrate the top tips. Here's what's covered:

  • The IMPORTANT key controls of your camera and EXACTLY what they do

  • The precise technique you should be using to ensure pin-sharp photos

  • How to make your main subject really stand out from their surroundings. (Great for plants and portraits)

  • How to photograph anything that moves

  • The secrets to photographing successfully in low light

  • Different ways to correctly expose your photos so that they don't turn out too dark or too light

  • How to deliberately make your photos brighter or darker and why you might want to

  • How to avoid accidental blur in your photos

  • The easy way to photograph in full manual mode, for complete creative control of your camera
