MCC Introduction to Photography Course – Early Bird Enrolments Open

Each year, MCC runs two courses of its highly successful Introduction to Photography Course. The next course will commence on Tuesday 2 August 2022.

This course is ideally suited to inexperienced photographers or any photographers who wish to develop or revise basic skills in digital photography. You may be moving from a phone camera or point and shoot camera to something more advanced like a digital SLR or mirrorless camera, or simply wish to get more out of your photography.

The Introduction to Photography Course consists of five lessons and three workshops, held over a 5-week period. The lessons are held at the MCC Clubrooms on Tuesday evenings, 7:30pm-9:30pm. Practical workshops are held on Sunday mornings from 9:30am until early afternoon.

Early bird pricing ends 30 June, existing members are welcome to sign up, and please also recommend the course to family or friends who might be interested. The course fee includes 12 months membership of MCC.
