  DESCRIPTION
  This photography course changed this photographer's life...
  "After more than 20 years of taking photos as a hobby, I
    decided
  that I wanted to know more about photography and finally leave
  "Auto-mode" behind me. Should have done this much sooner:
    Chris
  explains everything in a simple manner but very thoroughly,
    and
  now; finally, all the puzzle pieces fall into place. Great
  course, highly recommended." Martijn Tilgenkamp

  ______________________________ Have you ever found yourself
  thinking or even telling someone close to you... "The struggle
  is real. I look at other photos and think, mine will never be
  that good?" It doesn?t have to stay that way. Your photos can
  drastically improve once you understand the 4 core ingredients
  for creating amazing images. So, what are these 4 ingredients?
  They?re equipment, light, composition, and editing. How can
    this
  photography masterclass help you master these ingredients and,
  most importantly, transform your photos into something
  incredible? First, let me introduce myself. I?m Chris Parker,
  and I have 35 years of experience as a professional
  photographer, along with 15 years of teaching others how to
  elevate their photography skills. In this masterclass, I?ll
  guide you through each ingredient step by step, breaking down
  every concept so you?ll fully understand how to apply it.
    Let?s
  take a closer look at what you?ll learn for each of these
    game-
  changing elements. Jeff D. Jones "Chris Parker is amazing. He
  explains everything, so it's crystal clear the first time, so
  you don't have to keep replaying the lessons to figure out
    what
  he was talking about. I've been a photographer myself for over
  twenty years, and I feel that to stay fresh, it's a good idea
    to
  take these "refresher" courses like Chris. I highly recommend
  this course to anyone and everyone who is interested in
  photography." INGREDIENT 1: EQUIPMENT It?s not the gear that
    you
  have that allows you to create great images? it?s knowing how
    to
  get the most out of what you have! If you master Lighting and
  Composition, you?ll be able to create spectacular images
    whether
  you have a smartphone, a $500 DSLR, or a $10,000 Mirrorless
  camera. But before you can master Lighting and Composition,
    you
  need to understand how your camera AND lenses work, their
  limitations, and more. Desislava Toteva Garcia "This course is
  extremely helpful!! I love the way you explain everything, + I
  love your vibe!! 100 % recommended!!" With that knowledge,
  you?ll elevate your photographic knowledge beyond 90% of
  photographers in the world. When you complete this section,
  you?ll understand? How to read a Histogram for perfect
    exposures
  every time You?ll know the difference between Dynamic and
    Tonal
  range and how that affects your exposure and? How your
    camera's
  Tonal range limitation can affect what you want to create? and
  how to overcome it The first lens you should buy and why Why
  your camera gets exposure wrong and how to fix it How to take
  full creative control over your camera and shoot in Manual
    mode
  (easy? step-by-step instructions) Why I don?t recommend Manual
  Mode for beginners and I?ll reveal a better alternative! How
    to
  get sharp images every time Why lenses aren?t always perfect
    and
  how to avoid imperfections You?ll discover the difference
  between Focal length and Field of View and their purpose in
  creating amazing images Why you should consider the Crop
    Factor
  before buying a lens How lens Aberrations can negatively
    affect
  your photos and how to overcome them Shelly Woesthoff "I
    really
  liked the interactive camera demonstration indoors and
    outdoors.
  Makes it much easier to wrap your mind around the different
  settings when you can see it in real-time." Start by mastering
  the camera gear you have. Then, move on to mastering?
    INGREDIENT
  2: LIGHT Although this is the second ingredient... it's
    actually
  the number one ingredient to master. Why should it be number
  one? Well, without it, you wouldn?t be able to create an
    image.
  It?s like trying to create a photo with your lens cap on. How
    do
  you think that will work out? With Light, you can tell a story
  by shaping the light based on your creative vision. Light can
    be
  soft or hard, and can even be of different colors. Harnessing
  light is essential for creating amazing images. Once you
  complete the Light mastery section, you?ll understand? The
  difference between soft and hard light and why you may want to
  use one over another Where light comes from and why it?s
  important to your photography How your camera sees light and
    its
  limitations The 3 behaviors of light and how they can alter
    what
  you capture How contrast can change the mood of your image The
    4
  characteristics of light and how they can affect the quality
    of
  your images And more Ryan Lehoullier "Phenomenal course.
  Clearly, a lot of time and effort went into it. The course is
  informative, with quality content and valuable information.
  Thank you for this." This section is in the process of being
    re-
  recorded and will also include new content. See (below) the
    last
  section for more information. INGREDIENT 3: COMPOSITION Now
    that
  you?ve mastered Light and are a master of your camera gear,
    it?s
  time to elevate your photographic prowess by mastering
  composition. This will include? A true understanding of what
  composition is and how it can make your images better 10
  composition rules that will improve your images instantly This
  section is in the process of being re-recorded and will also
  include new content. See (below) the last section for more
  information. Kris Chartrand "I purchased my canon rebel nearly
  10 years ago, and I had never attempted to play with the
    manual
  settings, this course truly helped me understand, and the
    images
  he actually uses and does as a walk-through truly helped the
  understanding quite a bit. I can't wait to start playing
    around
  and testing what I have learned. Thank you!" INGREDIENT 4:
  EDITING Now that you?re impressing family and friends with
    your
  photography skills, one more thing will take you over the top?
  editing. Photo Editing, in and of itself, is an art form.
    Master
  editing, and you?ll leave your mark on the world for
    generations
  to come. Yes, editing is that powerful. Half the goal of
    editing
  is developing your own editing style. It won?t be easy? and
    will
  take some time. I?ll guide you on your editing journey with
  several image manipulation apps that can help you achieve your
  creative vision. This will include introductory?s to?
    Lightroom
  Photoshop GIMP Darktable And more Plus, I?ve included a 4 step
  process for ?developing? your editing style. Robert Turner
    Using
  plain simple language, Chris manages to make what is seemingly
  complicated understandable - I've been playing around with
  cameras for years and mostly been flying by the seat of my
  pants, I'm now starting to understand how I managed to jag
    those
  couple of really great shots, and now hopefully will be able
    to
  create even more 'great shots'.
