TAKE YOUR CAMERA OFF AUTOMATIC AND GAIN CONTROL OF YOUR PICTURES
| Admit it…
You didn’t buy your expensive camera to take photos in Automatic Mode forever. Auto mode will usually get you “so-so” results… But why be satisfied with just “so-so” when you could be taking stunning photos that will impress your family and friends? Now, if you’re like most people, you bought an advanced camera because you wanted to take great quality photos. And you wanted to capture the moments that really matter to you. But you didn’t really expect your digital camera to be so complicated, did you? |
Just imagine:
- Taking stunning high-quality photos that you’ll be proud to look at
- Never missing out on capturing the right moment because you were too busy fiddling with your camera
- Finally understanding your confusing camera, and knowing exactly what to do to get the results that you want, even in difficult conditions like in low light or when your subject is moving
- Getting admiring looks on your friends and family’s faces when you show them the photos you just took
- Knowing that your photos are going to look great even before you press the shutter button
- Having a clear understanding of aperture, shutter speed and ISO so you can spend your time taking beautiful photos instead of constantly tweaking your camera
- Taking artistic photos that are so great that you won’t believe it was you who took them
And you’ll experience all of this soon after doing my course!
If you own a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera, a mirror-less or other advanced camera, you have a very powerful tool which is capable of capturing great images, but you have to learn some basics and techniques to be able to achieve the stunning images that you had envisioned in your mind.
Most owners of advanced camera use very little of the capabilities of their cameras. And the thought of moving off AUTO can be scary.
Simply buying a more expensive camera will not make you a better photographer, but learning photographic techniques will improve your photography.
You’ll be taking great photos with the camera that you already have

Here is what past students are saying about my course:
Suzanne Richcreek reviewed StudioFlash.co.za — 5 star
I recently took the beginning photography course with Louis. He was obviously very knowledgeable but also patient, encouraging regarding my photos and answered all of my questions! I learned the basics, which I needed to know, and also photography techniques I hope to be able to implement into my photos. I would highly recommend taking this course to learn about photography but also to spend time with a true professional!

What kind of camera is recommended for the course?
Ideally a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) or a “mirror-less” camera, but any camera with manual settings would be suitable for the course.
My name is Louis Duarte; I am a second generation photographer and am absolutely passionate about photography. I will teach you the techniques to get you onto the path to taking pictures you will be proud of. In the 10-hour course, “Introduction to Photography”, which is run over three Saturday mornings, we will cover theory and show you examples to illustrate what’s being taught and then you will be given assignments to put the newly learnt techniques into practice. Theory we cover in the course includes exposure, learning to “read” light, colour balance, contrast, use of different lenses and their perspective, composition, computer editing and more. We also cover camera settings and you will receive a set of notes as well as a certificate. I look forward to seeing the delight in your face as jargon gets “de-mystified” and you learn techniques to take your photography to another level.
