About this course
This eight-week virtual course with photographer Jennifer Chin is for anyone with a digital camera (yes, your smartphone counts!) who wants to learn the art behind a great photograph. You’ll finally understand what all those settings mean and how to control them to get the effect you want. Through fun weekly themes and projects, we’ll explore the fundamentals of composition, light, and storytelling. A key part of our class is the supportive group feedback session, where we’ll share our work and learn from each other in a collaborative space. You’ll finish the course with a stronger artistic eye and a collection of images that truly represent your vision.
