Overview 

This 3‑hour photography workshop will:

• Use an inter­ac­tive (and fun) approach to iden­ti­fy the crit­i­cal tech­ni­cal gaps in your basic knowl­edge of pho­tog­ra­phy.
• Explain the tech­ni­cal con­cepts iden­ti­fied in your knowl­edge gaps and con­tin­ue the les­son by reit­er­at­ing the basic con­cepts (the pho­to­graph­ic stop, ISO, aper­ture, depth of field, shut­ter speed, focus­ing, light meter­ing, etc.) to ensure you’re well ground­ed and have an ade­quate under­stand­ing of the ter­mi­nol­o­gy.
• Per­form sev­er­al prac­ti­cal exer­cis­es designed to chal­lenge your under­stand­ing and pin­point any remain­ing tech­ni­cal gaps, with assis­tance on the spot.

Recommended prerequisites

Work­shop 101: Cam­era basics
Work­shop 102: Focal length and aper­ture
Work­shop 103: Cam­era basics
Work­shop 104: Man­u­al expo­sure and focus

Or, hav­ing learned the basic con­cepts of pho­tog­ra­phy else­where

Description

This work­shop is a brief overview of the fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ples of pho­tog­ra­phy, specif­i­cal­ly those cov­ered in Work­shops 101–104. It’s high­ly rec­om­mend­ed for stu­dents that wish to pur­sue our Inter­me­di­ate Pho­tog­ra­phy Work­shops, but show deficits in their full under­stand­ing of the basic tech­niques. 

We designed this work­shop for stu­dents with pri­or knowl­edge and under­stand­ing, or rel­e­vant train­ing in, the basic con­cepts and tech­niques of pho­tog­ra­phy; how­ev­er, it’s not an ade­quate sub­sti­tute to the four Begin­ner Pho­tog­ra­phy Work­shops for novice pho­tog­ra­phers. 

This work­shop was cre­at­ed to serve one of two goals. It serves as a brief review for stu­dents that have attend­ed our intro­duc­to­ry work­shops in the past, or have learned pho­tog­ra­phy else­where, and require a quick refresh­er on the mate­ri­als. And, it brings you to the base lev­el of knowl­edge required to effec­tive­ly under­stand and imple­ment the mate­ri­als cov­ered in the Inter­me­di­ate Pho­tog­ra­phy Work­shops.
