brisbane photography workshop | Leanne Stamatellos

It was another crazy, wet day in Brisbane when I held this year’s Photography Workshop.

But it didn’t stop anyone from learning how to use their cameras

on Manual settings.

In fact, it was a great challenge to work

with the weather – at times overcast and then full on rain.

I thought I’d include some words from some of the attendees who came along.

It was great! I thoroughly enjoyed the day, great location, great facilities and great family to photograph.

The hand out photo cards are a great reference and are easy to follow. Re-reading the notes, there is nothing that I needed to add, for them to be a thorough prompt for their respective topics. I feel I got to know my camera so much better, having never set aside the luxury of a whole day to talk about nothing else, what a treat in itself! I can see how lots of practice is now needed to be proficient at playing with the settings, but I do feel that I got a fair grasp on what needs to be done, and not leaving the day saying to myself ‘what did she say?’!!

I would recommend the day to anyone, it being a relaxed, informative, hands on learning experience. The class flowed really well and the understanding came from the topics being explained in a simple yet practical manner, with plenty of opportunity to share and compare, so to speak.

I absolutely loved it! The entire process – you did it so well I felt like I could give it a go when I left – not too mind boggled at all. I’m recommending it to everyone I know!!

I learnt so much in just a very short time. I really feel after all these years I have the potential to take far better shots than I have ever taken before!! And after many years of owning a DSLR I feel that I can finally work it! I have done one other course but what you taught us on Sunday made so much sense to me and I was able to put it into practice so much more and remember it far more easily than the other course.

Huge thanks to Nick and Juliette and their three adorable children, Thoma, Fenella and George,

for coming along so we could photograph and practice all that had been taught that day.

They are such a relaxed and laid back family

and a pleasure to photograph.

Enjoy a few photos from the day.
