Online Intro To Photography Class

Here is what you’ll learn in this 4 week long online intro to photography class:

Technical Aspects of Photography

We’ll discuss exposure settings, focus settings, and more. In addition, you’ll be able to ask a lot of questions and interact with me and your fellow students. The class size is limited so everyone has the opportunity to make sure they understand.

Artistic Aspects of Photography

In addition to the technical aspects we’ll discuss the artistic aspects of photography including: composition, framing, design principles such as line, shape and color, and storytelling.

Class Goals

Goal 1: At the end of this 4 week class you’ll understand all of the foundational information you need to succeed as a photographer (with additional practice). You’ll be able to solve problems, will feel more confident, and be comfortable using your camera. You’ll understand all of the important buttons, dials, and cameras settings.

In addition, you’ll be ready to use your camera with a far greater level of certainty and ease than you had before the class.

Goal 2: In this class you’ll learn how to create photos that tell the story you’re trying to tell and that do so in an interesting and compelling way. As a result, you and other people will appriciate your photographs more. Plus, you’ll want to continue taking photos feeling great about how you can create the exact look you’re expecting.

Goal 3: By the time this class finishes you’ll be ready for any next steps you wish to take. In other words, if you want to build specialized skills in any time of photography you’ll be ready to do so.

So, if you want to pursue a career in photography you’ll know what you’re doing with your camera. As a result you’ll only need to learn the business of photography and any specifics about the types of photography you’re interested in doing.

Alternatively, if you’re a hobbyist with an interest in birds or landscapes, you’ll be ready to learn advanced skills related to these areas of study.
