Digital Photography Basics

Photography  Basics

Do you have an interest in photography? Maybe you just want to take better pictures with your phone but don’t know where to begin? This class is the place start! Once you learn the basics it won’t matter whether you are using an iPhone, an android or a Nikon, you can step up your photo game and learn how to capture those beautiful pictures you have in your mind!

If you have a camera, that’s great! If not, bring your phone. No phone? Come anyway and just enjoy learning the art of taking great pictures!

What will be covered:

The Basics:

The basics that you will learn here are the same across all media styles-phone, camera, video, etc. Once you know the basics, the only thing that changes is the equipment.

Composition:

How to compose your picture so that it actually looks like the ones in a magazine!

Whether you are an artistic thinker or technical thinker, we can teach you how to not only compose your shot, but know which buttons to push, dials to turn and menus to navigate to help you achieve the look that you have in mind.

Lighting:

How to truly see light-the way your camera sees it and how to modify it to create the look you want to see.

Discover cost effective lighting techniques that will enable you to start being more creative and will open up a whole new world for you to explore!

Shooting Format and Editing basics:

Deciding which is the best format to shoot in and how to do basic editing to get the picture to look like you want.

Photography Styles:

This class will cover the basics of all styles-landscape, portraits, street photography, fashion and product photography.

Classroom style:

Are these just dry, boring lectures? . . . .NO!!
Although I might use some video illustrations (and give you links to research on your own) every class will be a hands-on learning experience!

You will truly learn your own equipment so that when you leave, it’s not just head knowledge but practical tips that will start transforming your photography experience!
