Photo School: Fundamentals

Join Michael Freeman for a complete course on how to take exceptional photos and develop a deeper understanding of what makes a great photo work. Start by taking creative control of your images, learning the science behind exposure, getting comfortable with the full range of camera controls, and leaving Auto mode in the dust. Next, learn to see through your subject to read the light itself and capture consistently high-quality images in even the most difficult lighting conditions. Then take a step back and develop your photographic eye to recognise potential design and compositional choice, to make the most of stunning scenes as they occur. Once you get back to your computer, wrap it up with a complete overview of the most important digital-editing techniques, cutting through the clutter and honing in on the particular tools and workflows that are relevant to your own photographic style. By the end of the course, you’ll be fully competent in the fundamental aspects of photography, able to consistently capture excellent images in any situation.
