Description

Photography course for beginners masterclass. Perfect for all photography levels: Beginner - Advanced. DSLR photography.

Hello & welcome to my Photography 101 for beginners and aspiring pros.

My name is Chris Parker and I've been a pro photographer for 30 years. Take your photography skills to the next level and take better photos with this photography 101 course.

Photography is an art form and you'll learn the secret to taking better photos, every time. Learn from a 30 year photography pro and discover my creative process for capturing stunning images.

It doesn't matter what type of photography you're interested in.

The photography techniques you'll learn can be applied to any type of photography; landscape, weddings, newborn, commercial, product, food, portrait photography and much more.

Or maybe you just want to be able to take better photos on your next vacation? You definitely will, once you learn the exact techniques I use.

Plus, you'll learn real-world advice for deciding on the approach you want for YOUR creative vision. Watch in-studio and on-location photography shoots and see my creative process in action... and I explain everything during the process too. We'll then study the images to help re-enforce what you learn.

Here's a (huge) list of all things you'll learn...

Photography DSLR FUNdamentals. Fundamentals don't have to be boring. Understanding the fundamentals is key for a solid foundation in building your photography skills.

Get ready to take your photography skills to the next level with Exposure. In part 1, you'll learn the basics of each component that makes up the exposure. You'll even learn something that is being mis-taught by other instructors.

In part 2 of exposure, we'll take a deep dive into the Aperture. Includes in-depth explanations to help you finally understand Aperture and all those pesky numbers. You'll finally know which Aperture does what for your creative vision.

In part 3 of exposure, we'll now take a deep dive into the Shutter Speed. You'll learn the creative options this camera setting provides, when to use a tripod (to avoid camera shake), how to freeze the action or create silky smooth water.

In part 4 of exposure, we'll explore the ISO. You'll learn all about the good and bad of this camera setting, how it actually works and when you might need to adjust this camera setting.

The next two tutorials include my secret weapon and an often overlooked camera setting. You'll learn how to use the secret weapon for perfect exposures. Which means you'll be able to take back creative control from your camera and manually set your settings for the exact type of photo you want. Simple and easy with this tool. Guaranteed. Next, you'll learn how to see light in a way you've never done before. This too will help you creatively and save you time while editing in Lightroom or Photoshop (or any other software).

Next, we'll take all that information and bring it together in a live studio demonstration. We'll go over every camera setting we've learned and trouble shoot how to choose which one. Then, we'll bring those photos into Lightroom to see how our selections effect the creative outcome. Plus, I'll share additional photography examples of what you learned.

It's now time to venture outside for another photography demonstration. I'll share with you my creative decision process for choosing specific camera settings. We'll then bring those images into Lightroom for comparison.

Finally, you'll learn how I edit images in Lightroom. Plus, we'll take one of the outdoor shots and do a complete Classic Edit. Plus, I'll provide some additional pro editing tips too.

And you'll learn much more in this photography course...
