Flexing Your Camera Controls

Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.

Are you a photographer who isn’t totally comfortable using your camera in manual mode? Do you feel your images could be better if you understood more about camera settings? This class will help you refine your technical skills so you can create more satisfying images. We’ll be going deep into aperture and shutter speed, ISO, histograms, white balance, bracketing, and more. It's all about being intentional in your technical decisions so you have better control of your images and storytelling. Through weekly assignments and critique, you’ll gain an understanding of camera controls, including how to capture movement, motion blur, create depth-of-field variations, and more.

 

 
The class was great. Néstor is a wonderful teacher, encouraging, critical in the right ways, and super nurturing. I enjoyed class with him so much.

Thank you Nestor, for a fun and illuminating DIY lighting class. I loved your combined free-wheeling “go for it” approach with the gentle but rigorous critiques. I learned a lot about intentionally “sculpting” with light to create mood and content. I also appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable in showing and talking about your personal work, which meant a lot to me. You created a mini-community of sharing and learning. Muchas gracias!
