About this course

“Photography is about using your imagination, it’s about creating ideas that appeal to people and create interest from the viewer’s point of view. One of the most important things a photographer must learn is to include only elements that enhance the composition of the photograph. There are never distracting or unwanted elements in the photograph. This point cannot be emphasized enough. Knowing what to leave out in your photo is just as important as knowing what to leave out in your photo

The various topics covered in the lectures:
Introduction to famous photographers covering every area of photography – composition – camera – settings – motion – depth of field – light – street photography – portrait – studio lighting – voiding – products – still life – color temperature -fashion – architecture – advertising – landscape – animals – interior – night photography

At the end of each lecture, I hand out a project to everyone that they must complete within 2 weeks before the next lecture. During the next lecture, each student turns in his/her image(s) and we discuss the project together.”
