iPhone Photography - A masterclass on taking awesome photos (Udemy.com)

This course will teach you everything you need to know to become a much better photographer. It will adjust your mindset when you think about wanting to take a photo in the way a professional photographer would. This course is based on the iPhone but all concepts are the same across most modern-day smartphones. It is designed with simplicity in mind and how to change your view, adapt skills and change your mindset before and after lifting any camera. It will take your photography to the next level.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that the smartphone cameras can’t be used for anything else other than for fun photography, as they are not as good as a DSLR. While DSLR cameras are technically better, the quality of a photo depends on the skill of the photographer and their creative vision. With the right knowledge and the right techniques, you can use your iPhone to create amazing photos, and videos covered in another course. The most important thing with photography is to get it right in the camera first time. The key to every photo no matter what it's taken on is to control Focus, Light, Composition & Movement. Learn to have a photographer’s eye and mind. When you walk up to a shot be thinking of this, and in time it will become all automatic and you will be taking stunning photos.

Everyone is a photographer, but not everyone is a great photographer. It's not about having the best, most expensive equipment; it's about having good equipment that you know how to master. The modern-day smartphone such as the iPhone is a brilliant camera for many situations. I’ve shot both photos and video for the media as a press photographer. It's not about the equipment you use, it's about knowing how to use what you have got.

As we know there are many versions of iPhones on the market, in this course, I will try and cover as many variations of the features available and the differences in the iPhones as possible. This is to ensure everyone benefits with what you use and that you're not disappointed that you can’t find the feature described when it may not be available on your iPhone.

You'll learn all the basics of professional photography, allowing you to take photos that stand out from the rest. This step by step course gets straight to the point and covers more than you think it might with many tips and tricks. Take the course at your own pace and just get out there, practice what you have learnt and see your skills developed into second nature skills that happen without you having to think.
