Alexa Bailey Photography

Bespoke Digital Camera Course

With personal tuition, we work at your pace, at your home or at a location of your choice. We will explore your camera’s functions and cover the fundamentals to improve your photography. Our aim is to get you using your camera to its full potential and to enhance your photography skills in general.

We suggest the following 2 lesson structures:

LESSON 1

KNOW YOUR CAMERA

FOCUS
Learn how to make your subjects really stand out and how to create detailed landscape shots using Aperture Priority. Learn how shutter speed affects your photos and how to avoid camera shake by adjusting the ISO.

EXPOSURE
The art of producing good quality photographs is through the recording of light – knowing how to correctly expose an image is key. We will talk about the Exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) and how to optimise it.

LENSES
Different lenses produce very different results and we will go through a basic understanding of these and how they affect your photographs.

WHITE BALANCE
We will discuss the white balance settings on your camera and the different colour tones coming from different lighting situations.

LESSON 2
DEVELOPING YOUR SKILLS

COMPOSITION
We will discuss ‘rules’ and breaking them.

LIGHTING
We will look at where to find the best light for great shots and discuss the use of flash, reflectors
and filters.
