This is where it all starts. Whether you just bought a new camera or have been using yours for years - if you want to learn how to properly use it this course is for you. In our Beginners Course: Learn To Shoot photography workshop you will learn how to use the camera's aperture to control the sharpness and blurriness throughout the image.
We'll explain what depth of field really is and how it lets you tell a story with your photo rather than just document what you see. With the right aperture setting you can add a creamy backdrop to a portrait shot and make a face pop right out of the image or you can add that extra bit of sharpness to a vast and majestic landscape shot.
If you are capturing movement like playing children or a waterfall you have to control the shutter speed to either freeze the movement or show motion blur. We use learning techniques that make this very simple to understand and memorise. Photography is really no rocket science but a couple of simple and easy to remember tweaks can make all the difference between a boring photo and an outstanding one. There are several rules for image composition that are worth knowing and you'll have a chance to give each one of them a go during the workshop.
At PHOCADEMY we think the best way to learn photography is to go out and actually take the photo. In our short courses and workshops you will learn photography as you go. Our experienced photographers will show you all the necessary settings for your specific camera model and guide you towards beautiful and more interesting images. We'll explain everything you need to know to take your photography skills to the next level.
Even though our modern and unique educational concepts don't feel like a classroom at all they in fact help you develop a profound understanding of photography. So next time you have a great opportunity to take this amazing shot you will know exactly how to do it and why it's done that way.
All our photography courses and workshops are tailored to the needs of amateur photographers and we feel humbly honoured to help and guide you on your very own photographic journey.
