Complete photography course

Course Description:

The A to Z photography course is a complete photography course that is therefore aimed at those who want to approach the world of photography for the first time but also at those who want to deepen and refine their shooting technique.

To begin, we will study the basics of photography and how to best use our camera according to our needs. Then, we will learn the main rules of image composition and the technique to always obtain harmonious and balanced images. Last but not least, we will analyze post-production (basic level), especially image optimization. In short, different optimizations will be carried out depending on the final destination of our photography.

As anticipated, this course is not only aimed at beginners but also at those who wish to renew and update their photographic knowledge with new techniques and technologies from shooting to printing images.

Important: to make the most of all the practical and theoretical content of the course, it is recommended to have a reflex or mirrorless camera (recommended), or a compact one with the possibility of manual exposure control.

Specifically, the course will take place in a total of 7 meetings: 5 theoretical evening lessons from 8.30pm to 10.30pm plus 2 practical lessons, one during the day and one in the evening.

The course schedule:  

To be defined.

 

The theoretical lessons of the photography course will be held at the Opificio Zappa, via IV Novembre 2 – 22036 Erba.

Total cost of the course is €190
