So, you bought a fancy Digital SLR but you still shoot on Auto and you have no idea what the rest of the little icons on the dial even mean? Or, maybe you’ve ventured off of Auto a few times, but still aren’t really sure what you’re doing? If you were hoping to get more from your investment than frustration and a few so-so pictures, then it’s time for a few photography lessons.
My lessons are designed for moms (and dads, grandparents, etc.) who want to learn to take better photos of their children.
(Please note that these lessons are not intended for aspiring professionals, nor will they cover any post-processing techniques.)
The Curriculum
Private lessons are approximately three hours long. Lessons are tailored to your individual needs and skill set, and can cover any combination of these topics:
- Basic Camera Modes
- Finding the Light
- Elements of Exposure
- ISO
- Shutter Speed
- Aperture
- Lens Overview
- Advanced Camera Modes
- Metering
- Composition
- White Balance
- Focus
Your session will also include unlimited Q&A, and a handout listing some of my favorite resources and vendors.
Please note that even though most DSLRs have the same basic functionality, I do not know the ins and outs of YOUR specific camera! We will cover basic photography concepts, but if you would like to know how to resolve a technical issue with your camera, it may be time to dust off the ‘ol manual.
FAQ
Full payment is due at the time of booking and is non-refundable. If you are unable to attend your scheduled lesson your fee will be applied towards a future lesson or photo session with Kelli Dease Photography.
