Welcome to Photography 101, the best workshop for teaching photographers, from the ground up, how to take amazing professional images.
We get out of the classroom setting and teach photography in real-life situations. For example, we would rather teach the concepts of aperture and depth-of-field in a live shoot with a model rather than showing charts and graphs. We would rather illustrate the concepts of finding the right light with a real couples portrait session rather than talking through theories or using images from an existing portfolio. Watching this workshop is the equivalent of taking a week-long, in-person workshop that we have charged thousands of dollars for in the past.
And more importantly, we are creating amazing imagery all along the way. Instead of teaching these concepts by photographing inanimate objects in inapplicable environments, we take the production value of the workshop a step further and create actual professional imagery.
Every image in this Workshop is captured with either a Canon Rebel or Nikon D5200, basic sub-$500 cameras, along with standard kit lenses and inexpensive prime lenses. We show you how to create beautiful light using a simple $30 reflector and $10 fabric from any local fabric store. The result is the most accessible and practical Photography 101 workshop on the market where you learn first-hand how to take incredible images with nothing but the basics. From there, if you choose to invest in better cameras and lenses, well, the sky is the limit.
While beginners will take in an incredible amount of knowledge, we designed this workshop to be beneficial for experienced photographers as well. We teach you how to get the perfect exposure in one shot. We teach you how to interact with your subjects to get your desired expressions. We show you multiple ways to modify light. We also talk shop with info on where to buy your gear, what gear to buy, and more. We have an entire chapter devoted to getting tack sharp images. So the bottom line is that even if you’re a seasoned photographer, this workshop will reinforce your knowledge while teaching you a few new techniques that will help you continue to improve.
We teach you all of these photography concepts while exploring a wide variety of shoots. Each shoot is designed to hammer home a different element of photography and camera mastery, and for each shoot we show you how to light, expose and compose a fantastic image.
