Common questions

FAQ

Is this workshop right for a total beginner?

Yes — that’s exactly who it’s designed for. If you own a camera and want to actually understand what the settings do (and why), you’re in the right place.

What camera brand do I need?

Any brand works — Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic, Olympus. If you shoot something unusual, email team@henrymproduction.com and we’ll make sure everything you need is covered.

Will there be a model to shoot?

Yes. We bring in a professional model so you have a real subject to practice on during the hands-on portion.

How small is the group?

Five seats maximum for this session. Everyone gets plenty of shooting time with the model and real one-on-one attention from Henry.

What’s your refund policy?

Full refund up to 7 days before the workshop. Within 7 days, we’ll credit you toward a future workshop. If we cancel, you get a full refund automatically.

Do I need to know Manual mode before I come?

No — we’ll cover it. Come as you are.
