Intermediate Mentorship

You have two options: Meet twice a week for three weeks or meet once a week for six weeks.

Each Zoom meet is up to an hour - you may not need the full hour if you grasp the learning

Why a few days between sessions?

Because photography is learned by doing

not just watching.

The gap between sessions is where the real learning happens.

You go out with your camera, complete your task, take photos, and come bck to the next session with real experience and real questions

Each session follows a simple rhythm:

  • Review your photos from the previous task together

  • Learn the new topic/s for the week

  • Set your task/s to complete before the next sesion

YOUR SIX SESSIONS

What You Will Learn

EQUIVALENT EXPOSURES

What are equivalent exposures and why knowing what they are, will mean you will know exactly how to capture the shot you want

SHUTTER

Not just having a vague idea about shutter, this is fully understanding shutter, a core component of Exposure Triangle

EXPOSURE TRIANGLE

Discover how aperture, shutter speed and ISO work together to control your photo's brightness. You'll learn the role each setting plays and how to balance them

FOCUS AND DRIVE

The next level in focus. More than just moving a focus point around the viewfinder, this is understanding which focus mode to use for stationary and moving subjects and shutter drives

MANUAL MODE

It's not the pinnacle of camera modes, but there are some photos, astro and some long exposures that can only be taken on Manual Mode

RAW AND LIGHTROOM

To take your photos 'there' or to the next level, there are times when you simply can't take the photo as you see it. The only way you can achieve an amazing photo is by shooting RAW and editing in Lightroom
