Fun Photography classes / courses in Sydney

Photography is a hobby that can be intimidating for some people. There’s an idea that it requires a lot of equipment or training or some inherent skill that not everyone has. But that’s simply not true. Now, with so many workshops available, more and more people are adding photography classes to their list of fun things to do in Sydney. However, even with the latest technology and high-end equipment, it’s still a good idea to get some training in photography. With ClassBento’s full list of the best photography courses in Sydney, you can stop searching. We’ve brought together the best photography instructors in Sydney to help you begin your photography journey.

Photography encompasses many different styles and techniques, which is why it’s important to be able to explore a range of classes. A popular beginners photography course is the iPhone photography workshop, which has quickly gained attention as one of the top 10 things to do in Sydney. You might also try a DSLR photography workshop or even more advanced one-on-one weekend photography courses. 

Photography workshops make for great experience gifts in Sydney, and they’re also some of the most fun things to do in Sydney in groups. Whether you’re organising a birthday party or are looking for unique team bonding activities to improve workplace wellbeing, photography classes are something that everyone can enjoy. 

To make every class as informative and engaging as possible, your professional photography instructor will give you helpful theory and then allow you to spread your wings. Your teacher will be there to give you feedback and tips, but these Sydney workshops are totally hands-on. You’ll be seeing the world through a photographer’s perspective in no time.

Health benefits of photography

Photography is great for your mental focus and clarity. The practice invites you to appreciate the world around you in a new way, and you’ll love the chance to disconnect and channel your full attention to the task at hand. An afternoon spent with a camera in hand will keep you grounded and centred - it really feels like a meditative experience!

Smartphone Photography Class

Fabulous! Although our class was officially cancelled due to the weather, Scott kindly braved the rain and went out of his way to accomodate us as we were only in Sydney for this weekend. Although Scott is obviously a serious pro photographer, he was able to patiently talk us low-tech baby boomers through the absolute basics and we picked up a heap of tricks in the session. He tailored our experience to help us improve photography needed for our business. Therefore, not only was it an entertaining morning, but a very worthwhile investment. We highly recommend this class.

Fantastic introduction to the basics. Our teacher Chris was engaging, interesting and full of great tips and tricks to help maximize the iPhone camera at our fingertips. It was also a brilliant way to explore a gorgeous part of Sydney - would highly recommend for the newbie photo buff in all of us ✌

Sophia was amazing!!

She was patient and very knowledgeable

My partner and I had no idea what we were doing going into the lesson and by the end we understood how to take a great pic and use the camera to capture the light!

We didn’t feel silly asking the same questions twice as Sophia was such an engaging and helpful teacher

Night Photography Short Course

I was very fortunate to have a one to one night photography course with Alfonso.
He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient. In 2 hours I learned so much about camera settings, composition, understanding light conditions among lots of other skills. The course was not expensive and gave me real value for money.
This course has really set me up to go out and practice my long exposure photography with confidence, really happy with my light trails shots.
Thank you Alfonso, great course!

Alfonso was a great teacher he showed us practical tips which built upon each other. He didn’t let some rain stop him from giving us a great class either. Would check out another of Alfonso’s classes for sure.

This class was beyond expectations. Our guide Chris (who filled in for Alfonso) was fantastic. He was easy to follow and a great combination of what we were doing and how to do it and then actually putting it into practice. Chris made sure that we then knew what we were doing after we had left.
I was surprised with how much I can do with the smartphone (did you know you can make buildings look straight?- to know more do the course!) as well as editing on the go- so quick and fun. Already I am making use of what I have learnt.
It was a practical coarse as well as really lovely wondering around The Rocks and seeing it through a photographers eye.
A great afternoon.
Thank you
