Photography Courses
For Parents. In Berkhamsted.
#LearnYourCamera
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CAMERA
Do you own a fancy camera but have no idea how to use it, other than sticking it on auto and hoping for the best? Are you a parent who wants to take better pictures of your family but doesn’t know where to start? Looking to do something productive on your maternity / paternity leave? You’re in the right place.
We buy cameras because we want to freeze time, to capture moments and feelings that we know we will want to remember forever. Learn how to take control of your camera and capture photos of your family that turn out how you want them to.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Little Duckling normally runs short photography courses in Berkhamsted, Tring and the surrounding areas so you can learn how your camera works and take better photos of your family. Presently courses are being run online – new parent courses, adult beginners, teenage classes and 121 sessions are all available.
Our courses comprise 4 classes. Each session introduces new aspects of photography, which we explore and practice in class so you have plenty of opportunity to ask questions. You are provided with homework, so that you can continue to practice and learn between classes. Support is available between sessions.
