Digital Photography for Amateurs
A big part of the photographic journey is that not only does your technical ability grow with each photo that you take, but your eye for detail and composition grows exponentially as well. You want to be more creative with your camera, but you’re not quite sure how.
If this sounds familiar, then the Digital Photography for Amateurs course is the one for you. It balances understanding the technical aspects of your camera with composing images in a variety of settings and lighting conditions. The best way to improve your photography skills is to get out there and trip that shutter release. In this course, I’ll be working alongside you to help you get the photos you visualise.
“Photography can only be taught in part, specifically that part which deals with photo Technique. Everything else must come from the photographer.” – Andreas Feiniger.
