What’s inside
Each module has key downloads and reference guides, very comprehensive binder notes, homework assignments, over-the-shoulder demos, an FAQ hub, and more!
Module 1: Learning the building blocks
We break down the exposure triangle together (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO) to understand how these three elements work together to create the perfect exposure. We also determine how to adjust our exposure settings quickly (so no more fumbling!) and go into detail about what depth of field is.
Module 2: Manual Mode
That’s right, start using your camera in manual mode right from the second module onward! We dive into metering modes, go further in exposure, go through histograms together, and I share a few tricks to be a manual mode expert.
Module 3: White Balance
This module has lessons about how to set a custom white balance, as well as the differences between RAW images and JPEGs, and which one might be right for you.
Module 4: Sharp Photos, here we come
We dive right in with the four pillars of focus - the essential information you need to achieve sharp focus. We then go into focusing for large groups, how to use back button focus and exactly what it is, and also some additional focus features that you may have on advanced cameras. There is also a troubleshooting guide download!
Module 5: Natural Light
Did you know that the most important element in photography is light? Let me teach you why! We discuss natural light indoors and out, and how to achieve stunning images in different kinds of light. We also have fun with silhouettes, shadows, and more!
Module 6: Composition
Composition is how you arrange the elements in your photo to make it interest, visually appealing, and make it stand out above an ordinary snapshot. In this module we learn different composition principles and how to achieve storytelling and intention in our images.
Plus these Bonuses
