Course Outline
This photography class for beginners is made up of five sections by week:
- Basic concepts & Camera Settings 101
- Exposure Triangle: Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO in detail with lots of practice. Learn about how to freeze / blur motion, isolate your subject from the background using shallow depth of field, and how to manage ISO
- Composition rules, Focusing, Focal Lengths: Overview of composition rules and how to see them in real world. Focusing settings and how to use each mode when. Understand lenses and focal lengths
- Landscapes: Capturing sweeping landscapes, applying rules learned before, shooting on tripod, analysis of photos. Travel photography tips
- Capturing people: Portraiture basics, posing, understanding and using natural light, camera settings for different situations
Each week we go through the concepts and practice basics. At the end of the course you will have a lot of interesting homework exercises to do during the week.
Homework exercises consist of practicing what you already learned plus some techniques you will learn the following week. We find that this allows our students to engage much better with new concepts, as they already tried and came across the problems.
The following week we will go through your photos to give feedback and answer your questions. Then we’ll be off to the next topic.
As with all the courses, we will get you up to speed without wasting time on theory – showing you what you have to do to get specific results. Then we will practice these.
