Beginners Photography Courses
Published 22nd February 2010
Leave a commentLast Saturday I had the pleasure of running one of our popular beginners photography courses in Chelmsford, Essex with a great bunch of photographers. The beauty of our introductory courses is that you get a great mix of people including those completely new to photography, those new to digital or even starting out on a new photography career.
During the course of the day we provide a good overview of an SLR camera, technical terminology and equipment before moving onto some of the more creative features of the camera. All of our courses are designed to simplify the subject and to make photography enjoyable. We always work with small groups to provide a better learning environment.
The afternoon is spent out and about Chelmsford practising the techniques and ensuring that everyone learns plenty. here are a few quotes from the day:
‘Excellent – helpful and informative’
‘Very enjoyable’
‘Would definately do another course’
‘Looking forward to doing portrait course’
The most pleasing part of the day is seeing the joy on delegates faces when they realise their own potential (and also the fact that nearly all of the delegates have already booked onto more courses).
If you would like to attend one of beginners photography courses then please get in touch.

We hired in a model – Lauren for some of the day so that a range of techniques including posing could be practised and she worked brilliantly with all of the delegates. Taking great people shots can be initially quite daunting for many people however once you practise in a safe environment then confidence comes quickly.
Lauren arrived with a great selection of outfits so that all delegates were able to take some superb images to help improve the quality of their portfolios.

Fashion photography courses, Chelmsford, Essex
This one day portrait photography courseis pitched towards keen amateur photographers and those people looking to become professional photographers therefore during the day we consider commercial aspects of photography. Becoming a professional photographer often means becoming self employed and running your own business, a fact which is often overlooked by many starting out in the industy. We are able to help out individuals by identifying images that sell, products that sell and suppliers to use.
If you are looking to becomme a professional photographer or simply looking to take better people images, then one of our portrait training courses could be the answer. Please contact us for more information or visit our website http://www.unshaken-photography.co.uk. All of our photography training courses are run with small class sizes, are fun, informative and rewarding.
Feedback from all attendees was superb each of whom came with different levels of experience and wanted to achieve slightly different objects – each of which was met.
Wedding photography course, Essex
We recently ran one of our popular wedding photography portfolio days at Ingatestone Hall just outside of Chelmsford, Essex. Portfolio days are an excellent means of taking your photography skills to the next level by practising in a safe environment where your creative skills can be allowed to run free.
During the course of the day we had seven bride and groom models available to be photographed anywhere within the house or gardens. The images taken by the delegates are all able to be used within their portfolios or on the websites to promote their business and to help them attract new business.
Often during the course of a wedding, time with the bride and groom is severly restricted if you don’t want to dominate proceedings. As a result practising the shots you would like to achive during a wedding portfolio day is a great means of preparing for the big day.
Professional wedding photographers have used portfolio days to improve their portfolios for many years although few are willing to admit it. Portfolio days are in-fact a wonderful tool to use and demonstrate to clients a professional approach to your work by demonstrating how you continue to push yourself and your skills to higher levels.

We also run a range of wedding photography courses where you can learn the essential skills of this rewarding business.
