If you're stuck on 'Auto' with your camera or get lost in all those buttons, you're definitely not alone. My workshops are all about making you comfortable with your DSLR, letting you play, experiment, and get a feel for things without any judgment. Photography should be fun, not stressful. ### Who Should Join - Absolute beginners who just got a camera and are feeling clueless. - Anyone who gets *thoda bahut* (a little bit) of manual mode but wants more confidence. - If you want a chill space to learn a skill and snap some cool photos. ### What to Expect - We get hands-on from the start - less theory, more clicking. - Focus on understanding manual settings, so you're not just guessing. - Practice shooting with natural light - honestly, that's the best kind. - Special portrait sessions where you learn not just to shoot, but to guide your subject for natural shots. - Small groups, which means you can ask questions without feeling awkward and get loads of personal attention. ### What You Need Bring your own DSLR (any lens, even the basic kit lens is fine). No need for fancy stuff - *bas* (that's it). Try to be a little early so we can settle in, but *tension nahi lene ka* (don’t take stress) if you’re running late. If you’re ready to move past Auto and see what your camera - and you - can actually do, this is the place. ## Highlights Browse through Splash Movement Studio's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/splashmovementstudio/beginner-photography-workshops/featured) - ![This is the hero image for my Portrait Photography workshop.
