CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY COACHING

#learnphotography_durban
No matter how creative you are and how well you can visualize the outcome of a photo, you will never succeed as a creative photographer without the technical skills necessary to use your camera and expose the outcome properly. You will just remain an "auto mode" or "point and shoot" photographer. Now that is fine; most of us photographers started off that way, and many are content to stay there. However, for the vast majority of photographers, there will come a moment when you want to express your creativity more but don't know how to move away from the auto modes.
So imagine if you learned those skills, "imagine no limits" .....get it!
