About our lifestyle and professional photography courses: |
|
Lifestyle photography captures quirky, whimsical, luminous moments in life, requiring a sharp eye for extraordinary detail. Our courses are broken down into specific photography workshops designed to stimulate and train the photographer's eye to spot the spontaneous moment, the playful fashion statement, the captive landscape which overwhelms, the telling glance and gesture. Evolving over the past 20 years, our wide range of lifestyle photographic courses offer a year-round source of experiential learning and creativity. Whether you join one of our beginner courses designed for those who are new to photography or a more intermediate level course, our courses take the budding photographer from the basics of camera function such as utilising aperture and shutter speeds, understanding exposure, focusing and file size options through to full white balance and ISO control.
Our serious amateur and advanced courses build on these sound foundations, all providing "hands on" opportunities, encouraging participants to create work that truly bears their signature, to make images that flow from their hearts and souls as well as their eyes. Courses such as our wedding, real estate, fashion / glamour, portraiture, studio and Abode Lightroom and CS5 courses give you the skills set to pursue either a part or full time career in photography or just a solid platform for the many serious amateur photographers out there who love to expand their photographic skills set. |

About our photographic workshops: |
|
A Focus 10 workshop is a 'hands on', practical and enjoyable way to improve your photographic skills, experience new places and make new friends. We take a photojournalist approach throughout with a brief to capture the ambience of the location, the faces, the essence of the moment. Each workshop has a certain theme enabling you to develop skills over a wide range of photographic disciplines. Each location workshop has its own flavour and photographic theme. A Bondi workshop concentrates on colour, unusual angles and motion. A Sydney Rocks workshop will include shooting architecture, a South Head workshop is more nature oriented, a camera handling workshop is ‘hands on’ where you can play around with different camera, lenses, accessories and computer systems and the wildlife workshop is ideal for those who love nature and animals and may be going on a safari.
Focus 10 is one of Australia’s premiere photographic training organizations with 20 years of expertise, with qualified personable, dynamic instructors who are also professional photographers. We offer one of the best client to instructor ratios with plenty of 1 on 1 tuition with a dynamic, fun, imaginative flavour to all workshops.
