I’m a proud owner of a Nikon D600. Recently I’ve taken some portraits of myself in this camera. They may not be fancy or “cool” but they are beautiful.
I am always looking for new ways to improve my portraits, and recently Ive been looking into professional portrait photography.
I love the idea of working with a professional model. Im not always the best with taking a good portrait. I had a bad experience with a portrait I took with a friend a few years ago, so I decided to take a class to learn how to take portrait photos. Ive taken all of the classes and more, and I was very pleased with the results. I used the class to learn a lot about portraits and what I need to do to improve, and now Im just a student.
Ive never been an art student before, nor have I ever taken photography classes. I also haven’t taken any classes with instructors. The classes Ive taken have been online.
This is the first class I’ve taken online. I was really happy with the instructors and the classes, but I was also a little nervous about giving up my personal time to go to a class that was very similar to my classes back in the day. But I guess I’m just used to that. Also, there were only three hours in class. I can go back online whenever I want to take a class.
I think this is one of the reasons why a lot of people dont take photography classes. It takes a lot of personal time to learn how to do what is basically a basic digital photo shoot. But I think it is worth it. To me, learning digital photography is like learning the piano. The lessons are going to be harder and harder. But its worth it. I get pretty great feedback on my photography from the instructors.
There are many reasons why taking a photography class might not be for you. You may have a passion for photography and want to be a part of something that could be of interest to others, or you may be just looking for some additional guidance with your camera. Whatever the reason, you will gain insight that will help you get better with your camera and make you a better photographer.
If you’d like to become a better photographer but don’t have the time or money to dedicate to the class, I’m still learning how to teach. I will be starting in the Fall and I will be looking for a few more instructors to add to the class.
The course will be taught by a group of instructors and you will be expected to come in for a couple weeks. It will be an hour and a half long and will last about four hours. It will cover everything from lighting, composition, camera placement and exposure, and much more. It will be in the nature of a “how to” class and is not meant as anything remotely like a how to photography class.
We’ll be focusing on all sorts of subjects, but most of our attention will be spent on portraits. We’ll begin with some basic lighting techniques, and then move on to learning about composition. It will be a hands-on class where you will learn many of the fundamental principles of photography. We’ll also be covering photography techniques, such as aperture, shutter speed, shutter lag, and more.
