Welcome to the Photography Foundation course!
This comprehensive course is designed for beginner and intermediate photographers who want to master the fundamentals of photography and take full control of their camera.
Starting with an analogue camera's foundation, we'll explore the intricate mechanisms common to all camera types. By examining the camera's key components- aperture, shutter speed, and ISO- you will learn how each of these controls influences the final image and begin using them creatively.
In addition to the comprehensive lessons, you will be assigned a practical task that will challenge you to apply your new knowledge and skills to real-world subjects and situations. This hands-on assignment is designed to reinforce your learning, help you gain confidence in using the camera, and make you look at your subjects creatively.
The final lesson of the course focuses on providing guidance for long-term improvement in photography. It offers valuable suggestions and strategies to continually develop your skills, stay inspired, and consistently refine your artistic vision.
By the end of this course you will already be using your camera confidently and be inspired to keep working on your skills. This holistic approach ensures that you not only acquire technical proficiency but also embrace a growth mindset to excel in your photographic journey.
