From beginner to conscious visual creator in four lessons
In this workshop you'll build on the foundations of photography and develop greater control over your camera and your images.
You'll deepen your knowledge of the exposure triangle and learn to work with stops, the histogram, dynamic range, and the conscious underexposure or overexposure of a photo. You'll also explore depth of field and discover how to make your subject stand out with a blurred background, bokeh, and the correct use of different lenses.
You'll also learn to focus sharper and smarter. You'll practice with focus points, minimum shutter speeds, and different ways to capture movement, such as freezing action or creating motion blur with panning.
Finally, you'll get acquainted with RAW post-processing. You'll learn an efficient basic workflow and discover how to get the most out of your photos with technical corrections. During the lessons you'll work on practical assignments, so you can apply the techniques directly and take your photography to the next level.
WHO IS THIS FOR? WHAT IS THE LEVEL?
For anyone who knows the basics of photography and wants to develop further. Bring a camera with a manual (M) mode.
