Untitled design (3)

Description

This 4-week course is designed for anyone who’s comfortable with their camera settings and ready to shoot in full manual mode with confidence. Whether you’ve taken my Beginner Photography class or you've learned the basics on your own, this class is your next step toward creating more intentional, eye-catching images.

We’ll go beyond just understanding your camera—we’ll use it as a creative tool to freeze action, create beautiful background blur, and tell stronger stories through light, composition, and perspective.

What You’ll Learn:
A quick refresh on the Exposure Triangle + using histograms
How to freeze motion or create intentional blur with shutter speed
How aperture and lens choice shape depth of field and bokeh
Smart composition, cropping, and changing perspective for storytelling
Weekly hands-on shooting challenges to build real-world skills

Requirements:
A DSLR or mirrorless camera with full manual controls
No smartphones or point-and-shoots—this is a hands-on DSLR-based class
Basic understanding of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed

This class is packed with creative challenges, technical tips, and hands-on learning to help you level up behind the lens.

If you're ready to shoot with more intention, creativity, and control—this is the class for you!
