Learn photography in one week!

This class is designed to give you all the basic tools you need to get started in photography. Photography is a fun hobby, a form of artistic expression, a way to document our lives, and increasingly important for entrepreneurs. I want to help you bring your creativity to life by getting comfortable with the basic technical aspects and composition.

Some of what we will cover includes:

• Unraveling the exposure triangle: aperture, shutter speed, ISO

• Understanding light: the camera meter and metering techniques

• How to get great portraits with soft backgrounds

• Overview of types of photography: portraiture, landscape, travel, etc.

• How to use the shutter speed to capture sports or light streaks

• Using different focusing modes

• Understanding depth of field for sharp landscapes

• Getting the right colors in any type of light

The only requirement is a camera with manual controls, preferable with changeable lens, and an interest in learning photography!

We will meet on Zoom from 7:00PM to 9:00PM (PDT) for a week. That's 10 hours of instruction! Classes are capped at 10 students to give everyone the time to ask questions. "Office hours" are available for anyone with additional questions not answered during class hours.

This is not a recorded class, this is live with an instructor who can address everyone's questions.
