What will you learn in the introductory photography course?
The introductory photography course starts with the most basic concepts and takes you step by step to a level where you can take standard and beautiful photography without depending on anyone. At the beginning of the course, you will be introduced to the camera and its basic settings. This section will help you understand the types of cameras, lenses, shooting modes, and the functions of various buttons and settings and take full control of the camera; rather than letting the camera decide for you.
After that, you will enter the fascinating world of light; where you will learn the differences between natural and artificial light, how the direction of light affects facial expressions and the atmosphere of the photo, and how to manage intense, diffused, or dim light. Understanding light is one of the most important skills that will make your photos move away from the beginner level and reach professional standards.
Next, one of the most important topics, the exposure triangle, is taught. In this section, you will learn how shutter speed, aperture, and ISO work together and how to change these three settings to suit the subject, environment, and available light. A proper understanding of these three elements will help you fully customize the control of light, sharpness, and depth of field in your photo.
