Description
Why are some photographers able to get a new camera and within a short time take wonderful photographs while other people struggle to understand why every photograph differs from the previous one? Is this happening to you?
Getting a new camera can be overwhelming, but you need to start somewhere, and this course will help you to quickly become confident with your camera and get the results you want.
Also, after a while, we seem to neglect the basic functions of our cameras. We always want to only use MANUAL mode as this is the ONLY way to do it. And by doing so, we forget about the basics that can give us guidance.
Even though you might know the location and name of each button or control item on the camera, it does not ensure that you get consistent results. This course will help you to know which settings to configure on your camera to make your life easier. You know what you want, all you need to do now is reduce the number of variables so that you can identify the remaining factors that require your attention to getting that great image that you want and everybody raves about.
OK, this course is not teaching you photographic techniques, but without this course, you will keep on struggling to get to the result you want. By applying what you have learnt in this course, you will progress to the next level of your photography skills. You will, therefore, be able to attend to the things that matter to get to the wow-image instead of wondering what went wrong in your images.
Who this course is for:
- Any photographer struggling to get consistent results.
- Beginner photographers.
- Any person that gets a new (or additional) Digital camera.

Even before going to school, I have been intrigued by creating images with light or painting with light. From a young age, I made it a goal to become a photographer. On my 21st birthday, I got a Yashica camera. Although I started as a hobby photographer, I quickly got invitations to be the official photographer at my work. After a while, I had built up experience in quite a variety of photography genres. Then I entered the formal and challenging world of wedding photography. It's so rewarding to see the beaming faces of the married couples when they collect their wedding albums filled with images and memories of one of the happiest days in their lives.
Now in the digital age, we seldom use film anymore, but rather digital images stored on various types of digital media. Digital images are so much more flexible than printed film, and can easily be incorporated into a digital movie or slide show. The darkroom has been replaced by the computer.
In 1997 I started coaching my first photography student and enjoyed it so much that I continued the path of knowledge sharing. It is so rewarding for me to see when a student share that big moment with me when he/she make that breakthrough in understanding photography and exposure. This inspired me to keep on developing new courses and presenting them in my studio - I have since developed more than 30 different courses/workshops in photography and am currently busy converting them for presentation via the Udemy platform.
