SY131: Creative Photography: Light & Exposure

Would you like to master all the parametres of your camera so your creativity will not have limits? Get away from the simple choice of shooting in automatic mode by mastering when to use the manual settings.

In this three sessions workshop, you will learn all the technique tricks that you need to finally get familiar with your camera while developping your visual creativity.

Every session will be located in a different area inside Paris so we will explore some high lights of the city along with some “out of the path” places. Location will be communicated 24h before the event.

Every class will sart with a brief, where we will have the photography lesson of the day. After the brief, we will explore the área at the same time that we will practice though photography assignments.

A final review of your images and suggestions will follow in a friendly feedback session where we will review and analize your images.
