Getting Out of Auto Mode

If you are like most people who invested in a fancy DSLR or mirrorless camera you’re shooting in auto mode most of the time. Because your camera is a mystery to you and you don’t want to risk missing moments that matter.

And I understand, getting out of auto mode is frustrating, confusing, and overwhelming, not to mention the time you’re wasting away scouring the internet for answers you never really manage to find.

You might even feel the urge to give up and throw your camera in the rubbish bin. 

Easy, Playful, and Jargon-Free!

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way! Don’t give up on your photography dream. The online photography courses and mentoring sessions at Photography Playground will help you to master your camera and gain creative confidence.

As a result, you’re in love with your photos and want to treasure them forever. You’re so proud of them you can’t wait to share them with the world.

And on top of that, learning how to create the photos you dream of at Photography Playground is easy, playful, and jargon-free.

Hi, I’m Karin!

Your Photography Mentor

At Photography Playground, we wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of photography. That’s why I am dedicated to teaching you the technical skills necessary to master your camera and the creative confidence to make your photos come to life. 

It’s my mission to unlock your potential as a visual storyteller by empowering you to slow down, get to the heart of the story, and capture it with creativity, joy, and confidence. 

Together, we’ll explore your unique perspective and strengthen your skills to make a positive impact on the world through the gift of photography. 

I am a slow photography crusader and I aim to inspire a new generation of photographers who approach their photography with intention and mindfulness, creating images that capture a moment, evoke emotion, and tell a meaningful story.

Join us on this transformative journey to discover the magic of photography, unleash your inner photographer, and learn the skills to bring your stories to life.

​I’m so happy you’re here – let’s begin!
