Description
The complete course: from your first f-stop to a finished set of images. Nine blocks, 20 hours in total, with a certificate on completion.
Block 1: The exposure triangle — shutter speed and aperture.
Block 2: Exposing with confidence — ISO, the histogram and the light meter.
Block 3: Seeing and framing — composition, rule of thirds and golden ratio.
Block 4: Getting sharp what needs to be sharp — focal length, autofocus and depth of field.
Block 5: Reading light — direction, hardness and colour of natural light.
Block 6: Flash — from outdoor fill flash to off-camera light indoors. You make two exposures at once and control them separately.
Block 7: The studio — light modifiers, setups and the four classic portrait patterns, working independently with one, two or three lights.
Block 8: Shoot day — portrait and product from prep to delivery, working with a shot list and directing someone who isn't used to being in front of a camera.
Block 9: Workflow and editing — from memory card to backup and archive, developing RAW in eight steps, and exporting deliberately for web or print.
Includes personal feedback per block. Once all nine blocks are completed, your certificate is ready.
