    Curriculum For Photography Course 101

    Module I

    First, we find a common photography knowledge ground and lay down a good photography foundation. We start with some basic guidelines of how to buy and work with photography equipment. You get recommendations for software and apps if you use mobile phones. We lay groundwork on which all photography is built - exposure triangle - and learn everything that there is to know about aperture, ISO and shutter speed.

    Photography Topics We Cover In First Course Module:

    I.1            tips and trick for buying photography gear
    I.1.a         practicalities and limitations of mobile devices for photography

    In the second module we build upon knowledge from the first module. We upgrade our knowledge of exposure triangle with ways to evaluate correct exposure and to influence camera choices in semi-automatic modes. We also add to our photography arsenal other settings that greatly affect final photographs. We take a dive into the world of focusing. We also practice different scenarios and ways to achieve sharp images and for really brave ones - take a look at how to check if our camera autofocus needs some adjustments. Finally, we take a small step into the world of photography composition - a giant leap in the quality and satisfaction your photographs will give you.

    Module IV

    In the last module of photography course for beginners, we finish with a core component of photography - post-production. We disperse potential prejudices, and find out there is (almost) nothing new in digital postproduction in comparison to "the old times". It just got MUCH EASIER and wildly available. We go through good practices for post-production and get familiar with the editing program of choice. My recommendation is Capture One, but you can use anything you wish.

    IV.1          postproduction in "good old times"
    IV.1.a       analogue dark room
