Understanding the basic principles of photography is the key to taking control of the process and making pictures you will be proud of. This class will provide an introduction to the skills needed to master your camera.
Moses will help you to understand lighting, exposure, and composition, how to use different lenses to achieve the look you want, and crucial settings for capturing different subjects.
If you are new to photography this class will remove the confusion surrounding f-stops, shutter speeds, and ISO, and teach you how to think through any situation and solve the problems we all encounter in the field.
If you are a more experienced photographer this will be a great refresher for things you may have learned but forgotten, and an opportunity to fill in gaps in your knowledge.
The class will include plenty of time for questions and answers.
