Hands-On Practice: Immerse yourself in a beautifully styled home we’ve selected just for you. Directly apply the techniques you’ve learned!

Recommended Equipment: While any basic camera will do, we recommend a digital SLR camera or a mirrorless camera with manual exposure controls and a wide-angle lens (10-20mm for digital DX SLRs, 12-24mm for full frame/FX SLRs). Enhance your gear with a circular polarizer filter, an external flash unit (if available), and a sturdy tripod with an adjustable head.

Prerequisites: It’s recommended to have basic knowledge of exposure principles and the ability to adjust exposure settings on your camera. If you need to brush up on these skills, consider taking our “Photo Basics – Getting Off Auto” class before joining this course.

Class size: Groups are kept small (8-10 individuals per session) to maximize learning. Space fills fast, so reserve your spot today!
