HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS COURSE :
This course was designed to help you grow your photography skills beyond just
being able to take "nice looking photos".
You will love this course if you want to keep growing your photographic eye,
truly control your camera and start making your photos reflect who you are and
who your family are.
This is the course where your photography really picks up the pace. We will
support and challenge you to help you find your own voice in photography.
* How do I get FULL control of my camera? - shooting in full manual - but with
clarity and purpose
* When is the ‘correct’ exposure not the RIGHT one and why is my camera
confused? And more importantly, how to fix it in camera?
* How do you capture genuine emotion and NOT just fake smiles? No more 'smile
for Mummy'
* How to make your light AND SHADOWS work for you? and capture stunning images
even if you think you have barely any light
* What makes a ‘strong image’ and how do I begin to get them more consistently?
INSIDE THE MODULES - AKA WHAT DO YOU LEARN?
MODULE 1: GETTING STARTED IN MANUAL MODE
First steps into shooting in full manual – understanding your exposure and
metering, finding correct exposure for your subject, handling over and under
exposure and adjusting your settings without even taking your camera away from
your eyes.
MAJOR TAKEAWAYS:
At the end of the module you will have gained full control of your camera - no
more guessing game and unpredictable results with all the control going firmly
to you. You will be able to understand your jump off points for different
situations and how to adjust them to the changing light or environment
MODULE 2: MORE ON MANUAL EXPOSURE AND WHY YOUR CAMERA IS OFTEN WRONG
Learning when the ‘correct’ exposure is not the “right exposure”, understanding
and interpreting your histograms, learning how your environment can help you get
the right exposure even in tricky light, dealing with challenging light
situations.
MAJOR TAKEAWAYS:
Knowing when to trust and not trust your camera's exposure assessment. Knowing
exactly how to adjust things when the images don't turn out looking right out of
the camera. Having a method to help you capture different colour accurately -
especially when it comes to skin tones, or elements that are bright or dark
MODULE 3: POWERFUL COMPOSITION
Learning what makes a strong image and learning to create your own,
consistently, with the help of our advanced composition techniques – beyond the
rule of thirds. Visual storytelling and creating connection to create images
which go beyond just pretty.
MAJOR TAKEAWAYS:
Learning new concepts in composition - things that will help you create exiting
visual flow, help with impactful storytelling and draw the viewer's eye into the
image rather than away from it.

MODULE 4: NO SUCH THING AS BAD LIGHT
There is no such thing as bad light - even with just a sliver of it you can make
a statement in your images. In this module we teach you how to work with low
light - through low key photography - playing with light and shadows. And we
give you an introduction to Flash - for when you want to boost your existing
natural light that little bit more.
MAJOR TAKEAWAYS:
You will learn how to use light and shadows to your advantage, literally
learning to paint with light - letting it uncover your subject, and hide what
you want to stay out of light. Much like the light module in our Fundamentals
course this is very much an AH-HA lesson that will shake your photography to its
core.
MODULE 5: PHOTOGRAPHING EMOTIONS
In this module we get under our subject's skin and focus on photographing
emotions. We show you how to reply on more than facial expression to show
emotions and how to use your creative toolkit, including colour theory to make
the viewer see and understand the emotion felt in the moment.
MAJOR TAKEAWAYS:
Learning how to capture genuine connection with your subject and their true
emotions – whether happy or mad! Going beyond the smiles or frowny faces to
portray your children’s true selves and capturing the moment. Using body
language and other creative means – from colour theory, editing style and more!
BONUS MODULE 6: YOUR CREATIVE SELF
Exploring various photographic styles and conventions. Learning to recognise
your own strengths and weaknesses and taking steps to grow further. Bonus
creative exercises to take you outof your rut and help you continue to grow your
photography.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion Advanced level 2 is absolute must as it expand the knowledge from
level 1 to the point, that you can take photos confidently, and knowing what you
do. I did it online and my teachers were superb, passionate, helpful and very
flexible.
