Join us for the first ever Makelight workshop in Holland! Emily will teach you how to get the best from your camera and smartphone, share tips for outdoor and indoor photography and advice for using images to grow your online following. Investment: £165/€195

This workshop is being hosted by content creative Didie Schackman. For all enquiries, support questions or payment issues, please contact Didie.
Instagram is a great way to promote what you offer and build a community around you and your work, whether that's a personal interest or for business.
Over the past couple of years I've grown my following by tens of thousands.
Not with any tricks – just by finding time in the daily routine to consistently create and share relevant, beautiful images.
Now I'm sharing what I've learnt so you can apply the same approach!
In this workshop I will help you improve your photography and gain skills that will help you grow your following.
If you're not a natural with a camera it can be hard to get going on Instagram, Pinterest and other places that rely on beautiful images.
It can be so demoralising seeing those around you getting thousands of likes on their images and you're left thinking:
"Why don't I get the same reaction to my Instagram posts as those around me?"
On this course you'll learn practical ways to shoot, plan and share your work while developing your own personal style.
Learning with others is a joy. The Makelight community is welcoming and supportive. No matter your ability, you'll feel safe and encouraged to share those slightly imperfect photos in private.
We've learnt that feedback really helps, so Emily will reply to questions and provide feedback on the images you post in our private Facebook group. You'll also get support from our small Makelight team if you're having any trouble.
For small creative businesses like mine it teaches achievable yet stunning ways to improve their photography.
