Basic Photography Workshop - From Auto to Confident Shooting
Have you just moved from using your phone to a camera, or feel stuck shooting in auto mode?
Led by Derrick Ong, this Basic Photography Workshop is for true beginners who want to understand their camera and start taking better photos.
You’ll learn the exposure triangle, Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO, in a simple, and practical way, so you’ll finally understand how light works and how to control it with confidence. No technical overwhelm, just real understanding. Derrick will also cover basic composition, showing you how to frame your subject, see light, and create balanced, pleasing images.
This is a hands-on workshop with guided practice and real-time feedback via a photowalk session. You’ll learn by doing, asking questions, and experimenting.
Perfect for beginners who want a strong foundation and the confidence to shoot beyond auto mode.
