Video for Beginners and Canon C50 Workshop Day with Tom Storey, Canon UK

29th January 2026

Thursday 11th June with Tom Storey from Canon UK

Specifically for photographers who are curious about video but aren’t sure where to begin.

Many keen photographers already own highly capable mirrorless cameras, yet video can still feel confusing, technical, or disconnected from their normal way of working. This event is designed to bridge the gap between stills and motion, showing how video can fit naturally into your existing photography practice.

Why This Event?

We regularly speak to photographers who say:

“I’d love to try video, but I don’t know where to start — or why I should.”

If you already understand exposure, composition, light, and timing, you’re far closer to video than you might think. Video builds on the same creative foundations as photography — adding movement, sound, and sequence to help tell richer stories.

This event has been created to:

Demystify video for photographers
Show how to use the camera you already own for video
Explain how video and stills can work together, not compete
Build confidence to start creating motion content without pressure

Morning Session: Video for Beginners
