This is for you if:

  • You're stuck on 'Auto' and don't feel confident using the other settings

  • You often miss moments faffing with camera settings or feel frustrated that the pictures are blurred or don’t do the subject or moment justice

  • You’re busy, the buttons & dials are confusing and you don’t have much time or inclination to wade through a boring instruction manual

  • You’d love to create more artistic images but you’re not sure where to start and sometimes worry you’re not creative enough

"I feel like before this course I’d just been using my camera completely blind!!!"

Sara

“How did I EVER survive without you?!!! Honestly I feel like before this course I’d just been using my camera completely blind!!! I feel even just 3 videos in I actually understand my camera and its functions much more than I have in a year of owning it. They’ve been great to follow and I’m so glad I signed up. I’m so excited to learn more and see how my images develop as I go. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

"It's given me a clear direction of how I can improve and gain confidence in using my camera"

Caroline

“The Camera Crew has inspired me to pick up my camera every day. Prior to joining, my camera lay dormant in its bag for most of the month. It's given me a clear direction of how I can improve and gain confidence in using my camera. The pictures I’m now taking have already boosted my social media posts’ engagement for my business – and I feel like I’ve not even got started properly.”

"I've learnt so much already and have only done the first module"

Georgina

“I’m loving the Camera Crew, it’s motivated me to learn about my camera and pick it up more often. It’s also made me think more creatively about how I can compose images. I really love that you can go at your own pace. I feel like I've learnt so much already and have only done the first module. So looking forward to what is to come, thanks Anna.”

"The tips for being creative, how to use light and compose images have made such a huge difference"

Natalie

“I’ve been following Anna for a while and loved other content she’s shared, so I didn’t hesitate at all to sign up to the Camera Crew! I know the basics of using my camera in manual, but it had been gathering dust again. Revisiting how to use the camera was useful, but most of all the tips for being creative, how to use light and compose images have made such a huge difference. It’s really re-inspired me to pick up my camera again, and I’ve already got some beautiful shots of my kids and our life that I love. Thanks Anna!”
