About the course

Take control of your camera and move beyond automatic settings in this practical and engaging beginners' course. Designed for users of DSLR, mirrorless, or bridge cameras, you will learn how to confidently use your camera's key controls to capture better photographs in a variety of situations. Discover how aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, depth of field, and focal length work together to create striking images, while developing an understanding of composition, lighting, and photographic techniques. The course also explores the fascinating history of photography, from its origins to contemporary photographic practice. You will gain hands-on experience using our photography studio and be introduced to the fundamentals of photo editing using Adobe Lightroom, helping you enhance and organise your images with confidence.
