Learn by working through real photographic decisions

Night photography asks you to work differently. These workshops make focusing, exposure, planning and creative experimentation understandable, giving you a repeatable approach when very little light is available.

✓
Focus in darkness

Use reliable methods to achieve sharp images when autofocus cannot see clearly.

✓
Build long exposures

Control shutter speed, aperture and ISO for clean, intentional night photographs.

✓
Plan the conditions

Prepare for weather, moonlight, traffic, stars and changing levels of ambient light.

✓
Create with movement

Use car trails, light painting and moving light as part of the composition.
