Do you want to take amazing photos? To be a creative and accomplished photographer we need to have a solid understanding of the technical aspects of cameras and the foundations of creative photography. Great photographers have a keen understanding of their equipment and how to use the light to create powerful images.
I will walk you through the basics of photography to give you a firm foundation and thorough understanding of how cameras work. It doesn't matter what camera you own, this course is suitable for all cameras. The best camera is the one you have in your hand, and I will show you how to get the most from your chosen camera.

I have worked as a professional photographer for over a decade, capturing images for high end brands and global sporting events for many demanding clients, and in this course I will share my experience and professional understanding of photography with you. From the more confusing areas of the exposure triangle (ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed), to metering modes, focus modes, composition, light gathering and so much more.

Who this course is for:
- The beginners guide to photography is a course I created to equip anyone who wishes to learn how to take great photographs with the camera they already have. Many people buy a camera and don't really know how to get it out of 'Auto' mode and so never really get the most out of it. This often leads to people putting their cameras down and becoming disappointed with photography. My 7 part course is design to make the process of photography very simple, guiding people to understand how their cameras work, and how they can take simple steps to understand how to use it. The course guides people through the basics of photography and also take them a little deeper, helping them to understand the rules of composition, how to take powerful black & white images, how to choose the right lens, metering modes, focus modes and how to use the camera to take amazing photographs outside in the landscape. This is complete guide to photography for anyone starting out on their journey to discover how to become a photographer.
