How long have you been looking at your camera and saying to yourself, I wish I could learn my camera and use it to its full potential – Well, why not make 2022 YOUR Year for Photography? As the saying goes… “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The Second best time is now” meaning, the best time to act is now if you want to learn how to use your camera properly.

From a low-light and long exposure masterclass to street photography – this Mini-Module from the Welshot Photographic Academy will have everything the photographer needs to beat those Winter blues and get into the festive Christmas spirit. Not to mention the fact that your camera will be running red hot as you will be busy making images and practicing new techniques.

Black and White Photo of a Man being photographed using a variety of different photographic techniques - Learning About Photographic Studio Lighting

Learning about photographic studio lighting at the Welshot Creative Hub in Llandudno, North Wales is now something we are able to offer – either on a one to one basis or in small groups of two, three or four people. Have you always wanted to learn your butterfly from your Rembrandt, your split lighting from your side lighting or maybe you want to know (and learn) about the different types of modifiers on the market and what they do and how they are used to create the effects you’ve seen others do but not quite mastered yourself. These sessions are completely tailor made to YOU and YOUR needs as a photographer, so whether it’s a one to one you need or you and a group of friends fancy having a different kind of ‘Day Out’ we can help you get to grips with your photographic studio lighting techniques.

Letterbox photos of a girls eyes with dramatic makeup this image was created as part of a Welshot Editing and Post Processing for Photographers Online course

How can I learn Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Affinity online at home? That is one of the most asked questions we are asked at the Welshot Photographic Academy and that’s why we created our editing and post processing for photographers online zoom workshops and courses. Like our IRL (in real life, in person) post processing and editing workshops – these sessions are run a little bit differently to that of other courses which are available. At Welshot, we believe in interaction, inclusivity and involvement – so we always encourage our Members to take part, ask questions and learn what THEY need to learn. At these sessions, delegates submit images they’d like help, advice, guidance and support with and John works on them in real time, showing and explaining as he goes along. Our Welshot Members have really benefitted from learning like this. Here is what just two Members have had to say…

Man walking along a bridge into a sun kissed forest area with a camera in his hand showing how photography can help with anxiety

How photography can help with anxiety, that was something I thought about often. If there was ever a time I was going to struggle with anxiety then the last 16 months was that time – I knew from the moment we took the decision to completely lockdown and go into self-isolation that I was going to have to create a structure and a focus in order to get through this unprecedented time in our lives. I knew if I was struggling then others would be too and I was determined to show how photography can help with anxiety…

Llandudno, the perfect location for a Welshot photo-walk with a twist. Grab you cameras, we are off on a treasure hunt with a difference. Known as the Queen of the Welsh Resorts, the ever-popular seaside town of Llandudo in North Wales, is a hive of history and memories with connections to Lewis Carroll who wrote Alice in Wonderland. Llandudno, home to a mining settlement turned thriving tourist hotspot and is famous for its Victorian architecture and stunning scenery and seaside promenade make for a perfect location for the photographer who wants to get out and about with their camera.
