FAQ

Should I also sign up for the Beginner Workshop?

If you have no photography background, or are shooting in the Auto Mode, please take the prerequisite course, The Beginner's Workshop. Even you are already shooting in the semi-auto modes, we still encourage you to sign up for the Beginner's Workshop to build up a solid foundation in photography.
Why should I sign up for all the Beginner & Intermediate Workshops?

The Beginners & Intermediate Workshops are designed to help attendees build a solid foundation in photography, each of them have a different focus.

By completing the 3 Workshops, attendees should be able to shoot confidently in the manual mode with great awareness of lighting.

In the Intermediates I & II, attendees will be introduced to various types of photography through hands-on practice in the manual mode: Landscape, Portrait, Action, Still-life, Street, Water (long exposure) and Light Painting.

Accessories for long exposure photography such as ND and GND filters will be provided in the Intermediate II Workshop.
Can I use my own equipment?

Attendees are welcome to bring their own equipment, because it is also our goal to help them use their own equipment (if there's any) eventually.

We need everyone to start with the equipment that we provide, so the whole class can move at the same pace. At the same time, it is also easier to understand the basics with our equipment, and the settings are effortlessly transferable to other cameras once they grasp the concepts. Attendees can use their own equipment in the 2nd half of the workshop with the help of the instructor, and they will be amazed at how fast they pick up the settings.
I'm also attending the Beginner's Workshop same day in the morning, will there be any overlapping information?

While the Intermediates Workshops are totally different from Beginner's, the first 30 minutes in Intermediate I will be a review of Beginner's Level concepts.

Attendees who have attended the Beginner Workshop in the same day will have an option of taking a longer lunch break and be back at 1:30pm (instead of 1pm).

It is necessary for us to spend 30 minutes to help attendees from the previous sessions refresh their memories.
