Get Off Auto! | Port Macquarie's Premier Women's Only Photography Workshop

Kris from Kristen Shaw Photography promises to make learning fun with small hands on photography courses in Port Macquarie. The photography workshops are an elevated experience for women to genuinely have fun and feel nurtured in a supportive learning environment. No high school classroom vibes here just women catching up around a long table (thats beautifully decorated of course!). These women's only photography classes are deliberately kept small and do sell out. Perfect for beginners through to intermediate photographers wanting more creative control.

NEXT CLASS SAT 5TH OF SEPT 2026

Gain Full Creative Control of your Camera!

'GET OFF AUTO' WORKSHOP

An intensive one day photography workshop designed for beginner to intermediate photographers ran by Kris from Kristen Shaw Photography where the basics of photography are taught simply — no jargon, no whiteboards & no high school classroom vibes. Just hands-on learning in my new studio space with supportive like-minded women. The sessions are designed to be fun, practical and interactive. At the end of the day you will have the ability to shoot on manual mode.

Who It’s For

• Beginner to intermediate photographers
• Women who own a DSLR or mirrorless camera that are still shooting in auto or semi-automated modes and want more control
• Small business owners or creatives wanting quality content
• Mum’s wanting better photos of their kids
• Women craving confidence behind the camera
• Women wanting to meet new friends and learn in a supportive fun learning environment

Get out of the house for the day and do something just for YOU! This is a great opportunity to meet likeminded local women who love photography in a fun supportive relaxed learning environment.. Women will be encouraged to grow creatively whilst in a community of women supporting and uplifting each other. Bring your DSLR or mirrorless camera along and we will figure out those buttons and start creating images you are proud to show off.

Sign me up!!!

Limited spots. Small groups. New friendships.

This intensive one day workshop is held in my studio space open to ONLY 7 participants. Sign up below to secure your spot before this workshop sells out.

I can’t wait to meet you and create together. Take a risk, go out on a limb, do something just for yourself and you never know what joy this might bring. Warning though photography is addictive once you figure out those buttons!

Cheers
