If you were ever wondering what your camera settings mean, feel slightly overwhelmed by the complexity and still shoot on the auto-mode without having much control over the image, this course is for you! You don't need any photography experience at all for this course, and we will aim to demystify the main functions of smartphone camera (or digital camera) so that by the end of the course you will have full control of the manual settings and your photos. Each week, we will examine one of the main components of the camera’s exposure settings. Additionally, you will learn more about your camera with plenty of hands-on exercises. The Zoom lessons offer a great platform to review your work and exchange ideas. You only need will need a smartphone camera that enables you to switch to manual settings but you can also use a compact camera, a mirrorless camera, or a DSLR camera if you have one.
