1.5 Hours of Real Training
This isn't a sales pitch disguised as a class. You'll walk out with solid knowledge of the three main camera settings used for exposure.
ISO
Learn what ISO does, how it affects your image brightness and noise, and when to raise or lower it for the best results.
Aperture
Understand how aperture controls depth of field and light. Learn to choose the right f-stop for sharp portraits or wide landscapes.
Shutter Speed
Master shutter speed to freeze motion or create intentional blur. Learn how it works with ISO and aperture to nail your exposure.
What Is Exposure?
Understand what exposure actually is, what you should be exposing for, and how ISO, aperture, and shutter speed work together.
Avoid Exposure Mistakes
Learn the most common exposure mistakes beginners make and how to avoid them — so every shot comes out the way you intended.
Hands-On Practice & Campus Tour
Practice everything in real time with your camera (or one of ours). Plus, tour the studio and meet the instructors.
