BASIC TO INTERMEDIATE PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE
#learnphotography_durban
The Basic to Intermediate Photography Course is a detailed and practical photography course for beginners and intermediate photographers. We will guide you through the functions, settings, and modes of your camera. Then we will take you on a journey to understand exposure, light, and all the nuances of making good photos in the camera. We will also look at various genres, shooting techniques, framing, and composition so that, by the end of the course, you will shoot in manual mode confidently.
TESTIMONIALS
I want to thank My Photo School, Rory Baker, for being a great inspiration in my photography journey. Almost all that I know I learned from him. I love his courses. It is amazing all the knowledge he has on different cameras and LR and PS, I must now just practice what I have learned. Thank you for being so patient with me. AN
Rory finds a good balance between theory and practical application thus making the workshop a great learning experience as well as a lot of fun. GF
