Through a clear and practical path, you will learn:
- how the sensor works and how it captures light;
- to know and use your camera correctly, whatever the model;
- to manage exposure, shutter speed, aperture and ISO to obtain the result you want;
- to use light as an expressive tool — discovering its direction, color and contrasts;
- to compose the shot effectively, telling stories through images.
After about 12 hours of theory to build a solid foundation, we will move on to the practical phase:
By setting up photo shoots, we'll work together on guided exercises and analyze the results as a group, to understand how each shot can become a step closer to a personal style.
The course is for both beginners and intermediate photographers.
Whether you want to photograph people, landscapes, or everyday moments, this course will teach you how to see—and not just look. Shape your gaze.
