Course Syllabus
This course is broken down into an 8-week training program that takes you from understanding your camera to editing your pictures to selling your photography. We’re going to give you so much information, you’ll never be without something to do! Each unit has a homework assignment that will help you put the unit’s concepts into action. Additionally, you’ll get feedback on your photos! I will personally look at and give feedback on your submitted homework.
