You might be the one who always ends up holding the camera. This course takes you from manual settings to portraits, landscapes, flash and editing. Learn online, at whatever hour suits you.
Manual settings, shutter speed and depth of field, explained simply.
Portraits, events and products are where the first jobs come from.
