In-depth
This introductory photography course for beginners will teach you the main picture-taking features found on DSLR, mirrorless, and enthusiast compact cameras. Our photography courses for beginners are designed to progressively ramp up your theoretical and practical understanding of photography. We start with the basics feature of your digital camera and gradually ramp up towards fully manual exposure techniques.
