Discovering Your Photography Journey
In this section, you'll be introduced to Sayde Jabra and her photography journey, including key project highlights. Sayde will guide you in finding your own creative path while exploring the fundamental question: What is photography? This part sets the foundation for developing your unique artistic vision.
Camera fundamentals: Lenses, Settings, Composition
Learn about various camera options, master the types of lenses, and understand the Exposure Triangle to balance shutter speed, aperture, and ISO for perfect exposure. Dive deep into focus techniques, explore different shooting modes, and enhance your composition skills to create stunning, professional-quality photos.
Understanding the Art of Light
Explore the differences between studio and natural light for portraits, and learn how to adapt to natural light changes throughout the day. You’ll grasp techniques for using reflectors and diffusers, and dive into studio lighting setups and modifiers. The session also covers the one-light portrait setup, posing models for natural expressions, and key gear and accessories to enhance your photography.
Post-Production Workflow & Building Your Business
Streamline your workflow with efficient file organization, backups, and Lightroom editing. You'll also learn how to export images for client delivery, plan shoots, and build a network. The session provides an overview of best practices for marketing, branding, and managing clients to help grow your photography business.
