Introduction To Photography Course

I have recently started teaching a course to people who have just purchased an SLR camera. It is an introduction to photography, and also is designed to help people get to know their SLR. The course has been an overwhelming success.

One night a week over a 6 week period we go through the basics of digital photography and teach people everything from knowing what all of the buttons mean on their camera, lighting techniques, basic digital workflow, and how to make a living from photography. At the end of 6 weeks we go out on a day trip and put into practice everything we have learned throughout the course.

We are now entering into week three of the course and will be covering basic lighting techniques. As I have mentioned in previous blogs, this has been a huge desire of mine for many years. I have been greatly inspired by the amount of interest this course has created, and overcome by its immense popularity. So much so that it is almost completely booked for the next 2 sessions that I have planned.

I want to encourage you in your photographic journey. It doesnt matter what your dreams are. They are very acheivable if you put your heart and mind into it. If you have been hesitant about starting this photographic journey, why not take a step of faith and get started. I have realised that noone gets anywhere if they dont even take the first step. Your desire might be to start photographing people and doing portrait work. You may have an interest in food photography like a friend of mine in Melbourne. You may love taking landscape images. Or perhaps like me you want to become a full time photographer that wants to inspire others to greatness.

Take the first step.....and then take another.....and another. Before you know it you are walking. The journey is an exciting one I can assure you, and you never know where these steps will lead you on your path.

Until next time, keep shooting :)
