This course presumes you have a basic understanding of the principles of photography, namely the relationship between shutter speeds, f/stops, and ISO. The material is geared to the beginner with some experience as well as intermediate photographers. If you are more advanced but aren't really happy with your pictures, then this course gives you inspiration and a fresh new way of looking at your subjects.
How it works
You will receive all eight links to the lessons upon receipt of payment. After you study each lesson and feel ready to email Jim your pictures per the assignment at the end of the lesson, he will then give you a detailed critique of your work. He highlights your strengths and offers suggestions for improvement in areas that require your attention. Jim's critiques are kind but always honest. Sometimes he uses Photoshop to alter or enhance one of your pictures to show you what he's thinking.
There is no time limit on this course. You can fit the instruction into any schedule. Jim will critique your work when it is submitted, even if it takes you many months to complete the course.
Included is a phone call to Jim once a week, if you wish, to discuss individual pictures you've submitted, equipment you're considering buying, great photo destinations, marketing your work, or anything else you'd like to discuss relating to photography or travel.
