Basic Photography Course

What will I learn?

Open up your eye for taking pictures with our Basic Photography Training. This training is for people who want to learn how to take good pictures. You will learn how to put things in the picture nicely, like using lines to guide the eye and the rule of thirds. You will also learn how to set your camera for the best picture, focusing on things like how much light comes in (aperture), how sensitive the camera is (ISO), and how long the shutter stays open (shutter speed). We will look at different kinds of light, like sunlight and electric light. You will also learn how to tell stories with your pictures by choosing a theme. Make your pictures even better by learning how to edit them, fixing the colors and making them brighter or darker. Join us now and start your journey to becoming a good photographer!
