Photographer: David Martinelli – McGregor Summer School Photography Workshop

Course options include

Camera Basics
Most students undertaking this course have bought a new camera or want to refresh their skills before an upcoming holiday. It covers all the basics to get you up and running to start taking brilliant shots effectively.

Travel Photography
Want to make the most of your next holiday and come home with heaps of great shots? Learn to use your camera before heading off on holiday and enjoy your newly found photography knowledge. Understand the golden rules of travel photography and never be disappointed again.

Manual Exposure
Most students undertaking this course would love to get off the Auto setting. It would be a perfect refresher course or advancement for those upgrading their skills from the beginner level.

Photo Editing
These courses cover topics from beginner to advanced photo-editing levels; don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss which works best for you.

Workshop courses can be the same as those listed above or combined and customised to suit your particular needs. They can be as basic or advanced as you require. Set at a level for primary, secondary or university-level students and adults. See past workshops below. We also cater for NDIS and special needs students. Please indicate your preference during the quoting process.

Planning and negotiation

It will require a fair degree of planning and negotiation, including what to teach, when and where, how long, and the budget. First, I suggest you email me an outline of your proposed workshop so I can come back to you with some costs and likely outcomes. Time limits are also a factor; a photography workshop can take several weeks to organise and roll out at your preferred location.

Workshop costs start at a basic day rate of $350.00. Additional fees may include travel, accommodation, a meal allowance, and note printing.
Please note a maximum of 15 students per class is recommended. Larger class sizes are okay for practical activities but not for theory lessons.

After the initial costs have been sorted, I strongly suggest we talk over the phone or have a Zoom meeting to resolve any unresolved issues and discuss final details well before the intended start date. Generally speaking, I like to arrive at the location the day before so I have time to get a feel for the workshop layout.

Depending on the workshop you have in mind, I can bring along some equipment to make the process easier. For example, I will generally bring printed notes for each student, a workshop schedule, and my laptop computer installed with the associated Adobe photo editing software as required. I also have a digital camera and several film cameras for demonstration, which the students can use.
