Fundamentals of Photography: Deepening your Practice with Essential Techniques

Knowing everything about a camera does not alone make a great photographer. 

Join photographer, Hannah Argyle, as she helps you to hone (and believe in!) your instincts as a photographer. You will ground these instincts with sound technical knowledge to help increase your confidence, to get more creative and begin to develop your own unique style. 

In this class, you will learn all the fundamental skills you will need on your photography journey! Whether you’re a complete beginner, feeling a bit stuck and lacking confidence, or want to push your work to the next level -  then this course is for you!

This course covers:

• Working with Natural Light — How to get the very best out of the light available to you, and what to do when those lighting conditions are less than ideal! 
• Composition — One of the key aspects to creating an unforgettable image. You will be provided with a handy checklist to help you know what to look for in a scene in case those killer compositions don’t come naturally to you. 
• Camera Setup — Hannah offers great practical tips as to how to set up your DSLR to minimise those frustrations and allow you total control over your photography. 
• How to Shoot in Manual Mode — A crucial step to having a deeper understanding of photography and the results you are getting! This knowledge will in turn boost your confidence and allow your creativity to come to the forefront.
• Editing in Lightroom — For that ultimate finish for your work! You’ll learn some simple workflows and handy tips for developing your signature style, as well as some pointers for when inspiration is lacking.

This course is primarily for DSLR users, but many of these skills are transferable and will be useful for the smartphone photographers amongst us too.
