Does This Feel Familiar?

It's All Guesswork!

I feel nervous when I take my camera out - I'm just aiming at something and hoping for the best.

I'm a bit embarassed...

I have a really nice camera, and no idea how to use it - but everyone keeps asking me to take photos


I'm Inconsistent

Sometimes I get it right - but I never know how! I need to understand what I'm doing right so I can replicate it!

Editing takes so long...

I'd rather be taking photos, not stuck behind my screen all day. How can I take great photos IN CAMERA that don't need hours of editing?

Google this, YouTube that...

Google it, watch it on YouTube to understand that,  and back to Google to understand THAT.  The cycle is endless.  I just need help so that it all starts making sense.

If You Relate, Rest Assured - You're Not Alone!
In Fact ... You're Normal.

But what if I gave you a roadmap for success with your digital camera?

What if I gave you access to the tools, know how, and insider secrets that you need to create amazing photos that you and your loved ones, will adore? Would that make a difference to you?

Great workshop on the essentials of dslr cameras. Rick's knowledge, experience and the ability to clearly explain the intricacies of modern digital cameras was excellent. A 'no pressure' environment with a small group (6) of pupils was well-delivered by Rick. I'm looking forward never to using the 'automatic' function on my camera again.

I really enjoyed the one day workshop. Rick explained the basic principals of photography and camera use. The information covered was complimented by a detailed easy to use take home manual. Ongoing support and development is also offered. Highly recommended

Thanks for a great workshop on Saturday Rick. I certainly came away from it with a much clearer understanding of the photography basics and more. The session was well paced, easy to understand explanations and time was given to each individual. I would definitely recommend you to others. I am eager to get out and practice all my newly gained knowledge. Thank you once again.

I had a wonderful experience participating in Rick's workshop and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about photography and getting the most out of their camera. Rick was so generous with his time and knowledge. The small group meant I was able to get lots of one-on-one support to find different features within my camera to help capture the images I want. Rick is so passionate about photography and it comes across in his teaching style. I also enjoyed getting to learn about Rick's journey as a photographer. The day was very engaging, inspiring and a great opportunity to learn from such an experienced photographer!

Let's cut to the chase - learning photography is tougher than ever.

Modern cameras have some amazing features which making taking great photos easy – but only if you can find them, understand their purpose, and put them to good use!

It’s not surprising that you are disappointed with your results, get frustrated, and just wish it could be easier.  

And you don’t want to have to struggle for years to start taking the kind of photos that you brought this camera for in the first place. 

You want it now – and you can have it now!

I’ve worked hard to develop the ultimate, comprehensive workshop designed to give you confidence with your  camera.  To give you the inspiration to get out there and have fun with it, to play with it, and to start taking amazing photos that will thrill your family and friends.  Learn the secrets, tips and tools that I use to take great photos ‘in camera’,  so that before you even start editing you have the raw material for a fabulous finished image.  No more trying to ‘rescue’ photos after the fact!

Once you understand the fundamentals of photography, it stops becoming guesswork – and you can use your newfound knowledge of the power contained in your camera’s settings to start bringing your imagination to life – as art. 

Photography becomes fun again….like it was always supposed to be. 

"Rick Has a great way of making photography fun, interesting and awesome. His 35+ years of knowledge and experience with photography coupled with his intense passion for capturing any subject and style makes his classes and teaching techniques brilliant. I can't recommend it highly enough and enjoyed every minute..."

"Thank you so much Rick for an excellent course. It was exactly what I needed. After going through a lot of tutorials and books and "playing" around with my camera it was actually only after your course and teaching that it all started to make sense to me."

I would highly recommend participating in any of The Wild Artistic workshops. I could see the improvement in my photography immediately. The written resources and the back up support are perfect for reinforcing your knowledge. I will definitely attend a more advanced workshop in the future. Thank you.

FAQ's

A DSLR is the ideal camera for this workshop.  However, if you have a camera which allows you to manually adjust the settings, you will benefit from the workshop. 

Absolutely – the principals of photography still apply, which is what this workshop is all about.

We don’t recommend this.  We have had participants take part with high end mobiles who felt they benefited, but this course is not designed for phone photography. 

This class is designed from beginners, through to serious amateurs. I suggest taking a look at our reviews on Facebook to get an indication of the levels of experience that have found benefit from this class.

Tripod, it’ll make life a lot easier for you. If you don’t own one try and borrow one. Chances are after the workshop you’ll want one.
 
Extra batteries for your camera (just to be safe)
 
Your camera manual. (very important)
 
A hat and some sunblock (optional) as we will be outside.
 
There are opportunities to buy lunch, but feel free to bring your own.  And don’t forget something to drink, 

Absolutely, we include a month of email follow up, PLUS a 30 minute coaching call, and we are always happy to help!
