Our photography workshops

Tania Niwa Photographer workshops will provide you with friendly tuition as well as the inspiration and technical skills to improve the quality of your photographs.  You could join one of our beginner classes designed for those who are new to photography or you can book private tuition (see bottom of page) to fast track your learning.  In all classes you can expect to  considerably improve your skills and knowledge, as we provide hands on opportunities, encouraging you to create experiential learning and creativity.

Group Photography Workshop Overview

Learn simple but effective portrait photography techniques from award winning photographer Tania Niwa M.Photog AIPP IV / Fellow NZIPP II.  Tania will help you to significantly improve your photos of people in all occasions (every day and special events).

This hands on workshop is designed to suit if you are wanting to or have started to master the basics. You will be able to use your own digital ‘point and shoot’ prosumer camera or digital SLR camera.

You will be shown how to:
- create balanced, harmonious images
- compose and photograph people in a variety of scenarios
- use various camera settings such as ‘shutter priority’, aperture priority, and ‘manual’ modes
- how to consistently produce sharply focused photos

We will provide:
- a take home workbook, which you can write notes in during the course
- a pocket size camera setting tips card
- a model to photograph so you can practice new techniques, get immediate feedback from Tania, and therefore learn quickly

Part of each workshop will be offsite on location so you can learn the techniques of outdoor portrait photography.

Supportive, friendly and patient environment.  Small classes (max. of 6-8 people).  4 hour course (normally on a Saturday).
