In this five week photography course you will:
Finally understand what shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are and why you need to change those settings to create the beautiful photographs you envision.
Learn the basics of using daylight and artificial light (e.g., flash, light bulbs, street lights) as well as the troubleshooting how to take photos in different types of light.
Understand a variety of different rules of composition, how to use them to create more captivating photos, and when to ignore the rules!
Learn the basic functions of your camera that will allow you to immediately improve the photos you take.
Be introduced to practical strategies for taking photos in a variety of settings and circumstances (e.g. of children, in nature, while travelling)
The best part? You'll have fun AND learn at the same time. I hear time and time again how people have tried to improve their photography skills but gave up because they were bored or confused. With over 7 years experience teaching this class, I know how to create a supportive and engaging learning environment.
