Photography 101: The Basics and Beyond

You would never say to a master painter, "What a beautiful work of art—you must have a really nice brush." It's the same with photography. A nice camera makes it easier to take good photos, but it's the photographer (that's you!), not the tool, that will ultimately produce frame-worthy photos. All you need is a basic knowledge of the elements that work together to create memorable pictures. (Hint: it's all about light and composition!)

Whether you want to take better everyday photos with that smartphone, or you have a nice new DSLR camera that you're dabbling with, this self-paced workshop will put you on the path to better photos. In this class, you'll learn to master the rules of composition, make the most of available light, and get more out of your equipment—no matter what kind of camera you're using.

Would you like to feel more confident in your photo-taking abilities? To find beauty in everyday objects, and see attributes of people you've never noticed before? Photography 101: The Basics and Beyond with Elisha Snow will teach you to look at light, shadow, shape, and color differently, and most importantly, to develop a passion for preserving the beauty that surrounds you.
