I’m Mila.
Five years ago my camera lived on auto. I taught myself, then started teaching friends on Saturday mornings. Cascra is that class, filmed properly.

I've had my camera for nine years. Week three was the first time I took it off auto.

She explains things like a friend would. My street photos finally look like what I saw.

With feedback, spring group

The feedback calls were worth it. Mila spotted the same mistake in all my shots.

Kenji T.
With feedback, autumn group

I shoot the photos for my bakery now. They used to be dark and yellow.

Priya S.

Short lessons I could watch at lunch, then practise on the walk home.

I finally have photos of my dog that aren't blurry.
