Introduction to photography

This course begins with a fun introductory lesson: a quick ‘speed date’ with your camera. Through a series of quick exercises, you’ll immediately discover the key functions. Over the next 8 lessons, you’ll delve step by step into the basics of photography. You’ll learn how to work with focus, light metering, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, composition and the difference between automatic and semi-automatic modes. This will help you gain more and more control over your camera and your images. During the lessons, you’ll practise with fun and practical assignments, supported by classroom presentations and, at times, on-location assignments. At home, you’ll work on inspiring practice assignments, which you’ll share via Padlet and discuss together. You’ll finish with a beautiful series of photos and a solid foundation to continue photographing independently.
