Intermediate Photography Evening Course
Course Info
This is our highly recommended photography class if you already attended our beginners course or you already know the basic photography concepts (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, depth of field) and functions of your camera (when to use different shooting modes, different focus modes, etc).
If you are not yet fully comfortable with these concepts, we recommend our beginners evening class instead.
In this 10 hour class (5 x 2 hour classes in the evenings), we will cover the most important photographic subjects that you will need for any type of photography:
- Characteristics of light : size, direction & color
- Managing natural light with reflectors, diffusers
- Editing considerations (what to do, not how to do)
- Artificial light: How to use on & off camera flash
- Mastering composition
- Camera controls advanced settings
- Portrait advanced tips
Coming out of this course, you will be able to start recognizing good light, know how to capture any moment, use available light or use flash and know what to do during editing. In other words, you will learn all you need to know to take great photos.
If you expect to miss one of the sessions due to your schedule, no problem. You can always join the same session from the following month’s course.
The homeworks are specially designed to make you use what you have already learned and encounter problems that we will cover in the next session. This way, you will both internalize what we already covered and come to the session with correct questions and open mind.

- Basic knowledge of photography including aperture, shutter speed, camera lenses and ISO including exposure modes. If you think you might need a bit of extra help, please attend one of our Beginners Courses first.
