5 PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE COURSE CONTENT 1 MODULE 1: CPH001 - CAMERAS, LENSES AND THE DIGITAL IMAGE A gentle take off easing you into study mode, starting with an in-depth look at the types and features of digital cameras, lenses, when to use which one, and the accessories that go with them. Learn about the digital image. What it actually is, the different file formats, size, resolution, resizing, re-sampling and the technical jargon that goes with it. Cameras out! It is time to get familiar with the menus, buttons, switches and dials that you will soon be getting to know intimately. Outside time and we uncover which lens and focal length is your weapon of choice in a range of different situations. 4 MODULE 4: CPH004 - THE COLOUR OF LIGHT AND HOW TO USE IT This module is particularly enlightening (pardon the pun). Photography is the art of painting with light so we need to understand it to work with it to our advantage. We take a detailed look at colour theory, colour systems, models and mapping, explore the colour temperature in different lighting conditions, and the white balance function on your camera. Learn all about photography in natural light and how to work with it. Light is not only natural. Man invented the light bulb and has gone on from there providing us with heaps of great options in artificial lighting equipment. Learn the what, when and how of artificial lighting. 2 3 MODULE 2: CPH002 - EXPOSURE - SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE Grab your camera. It is time to get serious. We tackle the shutter speed and aperture setting relationship for correct exposure. Before you know it, you will be blurring movement, freezing the action and setting the depth of field in your images. Yes, you will be taking control of the camera, thinking about what you want to do and creating it. Program mode is now a thing of the past. Focus points and the hyperfocal distance also come into play. Through a series of exercises, you will be really getting to know your camera, what settings work for you in different situations and creating a series of cheat sheets to help you master these techniques quickly and easily. MODULE 3: CPH003 - LIGHT, EXPOSURE AND CONTROL Yes, there is a third element in the shutter speed/aperture relationship triangle. ISO is added into the equation as we look at light, where it comes from, how to measure it and how to work with it. You will determine the dynamic range of your camera, and discover why the camera sees and captures images differently to what your eye can see. The Histogram will become your new best friend. Every image has one. Learn how to read it, understand it, and use it to make exposure adjustments on the fly. 5 6 MODULE 5: CPH005 - STYLE AND COMPOSITION Creative hats on! This module is all about thinking differently. We give you an insight into image composure, backgrounds, foregrounds, focal points, silhouettes, working with reflections, leading and directing the eye and the list goes on. Free-thinking and creativity are encouraged. Learn to pre-visualise your images, put your theory into action and let your own style emerge in your images. We also look at techniques to help you identify and avoid common problems. MODULE 6: CPH006 - PHOTOSHOP FOR BEGINNERS Welcome to the world of post-production. Part 1 is processing your RAW files. What you learn in this section will save many images from the recycle bin and significantly reduce the tears and tantrums. It is mind-blowingly powerful. In the second section, we explore elements of Adobe Photoshop relevant to photography, how to make your images POP, work with layers, apply filters, make tone/colour corrections, turn grey skies to blue and remove unwanted tourists (or previous partners) from your images. How good is that!

6 PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE COURSE CONTENT 7 8 MODULE 7: CPH007 - PHOTOGRAPHY SPECIALTIES Different areas of photography require specialised techniques, knowledge and understanding to truly master the art. We take an in-depth look at some of the people free specialties in this module: Travel Photography Nature And Wildlife Photography Architecture Photography Night Photography Urban Photography Food Photography Macro Photography MODULE 8: CPH008 - PHOTOGRAPHY SPECIALTIES In this group of photography specialties, most involve people. A whole new skill set is needed here, so dust off your people skills as we look at the following specialties: MODULES 9, 10 AND 11: CHOOSE 3 ELECTIVES There are seven options to choose from, so there is something for everyone. You do not have to decide now. As you learn more and discover where your talents lay, your interests may change. The perfect time to make your choice is after completing Module 8. MODULE 12: CPH012 - YOU, YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AND YOUR PORTFOLIO It is crunch time. You are ready to fly. We are putting together your portfolio, a showcase of your work so far. Something you can be really proud of. We round off the course with a thought provoking session on your journey so far, you as an individual, and your continuing to grow as a photographer. No matter how old or experienced we are, we never stop learning.

Where it is now, and how it got there. Who helped it along the way and the impact it has had on individuals and society as a whole. This one is huge! Some seriously clever people have worked very hard to develop the equipment we take for granted today. Throughout this module, you will be surprised, amazed, astonished and maybe even a little bit impressed. It is awe-inspiring to realise the impact a single powerful image can have on the world.

Chris Milici 04/12/2017 The course was sufficiently challenging and informative to help me understand photography at a deeper level. I am now in control of my camera and photography and excited for future development. I now understand what makes a good photo and can use my experience of this course to capture more good shots with less fails. Scott Thompson 13/9/2017 I always thought my images were pretty good. I just signed up for the Professional course to learn a bit more of the technical side before I start my own photography business. Wow. His course has blown me away. The whole way I look at things now has changed, and I hate to admit it, but the original images that I thought were good are no-where near where they needed to be. Thanks to my tutor and the Online Camera Ed team. You have been great. Julian Sanders 28/03/2015
