Photography Fundamentals
A four-hour beginner photography workshop taught in Arabic: composition, perspective, light, exposure and storytelling, in Brussels or live online.
Overview
Great photography starts with how you see, not what you shoot with. A practical four-hour beginner workshop for cameras and smartphones, taught in Arabic.
Photography Fundamentals is the first step for beginners. Before settings and equipment, you learn to see like a photographer: what the subject is, where to stand, how light shapes a scene and how a few deliberate choices turn an ordinary picture into one that says something. The principles work on any device: a mirrorless camera, a DSLR, a compact camera or a smartphone, and they carry over to aerial photography. You practise composition, framing, angles and perspective, natural light, exposure and focus, then bring them together in a short photo story. Every topic is followed by an exercise and individual feedback from the two instructors. Choose the in-person session at the Lubbad Production studio in Brussels, or the live, interactive online session. Both are taught in Arabic. No previous photography experience is needed. The workshop gives you a solid foundation to build on; it does not promise professional mastery in one session, and it does not teach drone piloting.

FAQ
Which language is the workshop taught in?
Both sessions are taught in Arabic. This website is in English, French and Dutch, but the training itself, the exercises and the feedback are in Arabic.
Do I need a professional camera?
No. The workshop teaches principles that work on any device: a mirrorless camera, a DSLR, a compact camera or a smartphone. Bring the device you photograph with; equipment is not loaned.
Is this a drone course?
No. The composition, light and perspective principles apply to aerial photography too, and you are welcome to bring aerial photographs for feedback, but the workshop does not teach drone piloting and there is no flying.
What is the difference between the studio and the online session?
The content and instructors are the same. In the studio you practise with set-ups and direct feedback in the room. Online you photograph at home with everyday subjects, share selected photographs during the session and receive feedback live.
How do online participants share their photographs?
Your private video-call link and a private way to share photographs appear in your learner dashboard before the session. The instructors review selected images on screen with the group.
Will I be a professional photographer after this workshop?
No single session can promise that. You leave with a clear foundation, practised in real exercises, and know what to work on next.
