The Ultimate Photography Course For Beginners (Udemy.com)

Need more examples with photos for better understanding

Each subject is very well explained and the tutor has a very straightforward and friendly manner making it easy to follow. It’s a very helpful and worthy course to take if you’re starting out. In finishing the course, I have a good grasp of photography fundamentals and it’s made taking photos much more interesting and fulfilling. I’m using the videos as reference as I’ve continued to take photos after taking the course

Trainer was relatable and made thing easy to understand for those of us that learn slowly or have difficulty remembering things. His accent is beautiful but it could have been hard to understand if he he didn't moderate how fast he spoke. I will definitely take other courses by him. I can already see an improvement in my photography or at least can tell what I did wrong. Shooting my granddaughters volleyball game this weekend...wish me luck.

This course did everything it's title says. It IS the ULTIMATE course. But I believe putting it in the category 'For Beginners' really narrows your opinion about it. For this course is amazing for people who are beginning, or for people who wish to deepen their knowledge. The instructor explains the subjects with ease, as it seems as though he has an understanding of the subject. I have not had one difficulty understanding a concept, so I have not had to ask any questions, but from the questions and their answers I have read, I believe this instructor is the best person to teach this topic! Overall, I suggest anybody interested in photography to do this course, whether you're deciding to start photography, are a beginner, or want to understand photography even further to deepen your knowledge, I would DEFINITELY recommend this course!

This is the best course I've found so far to jump-start a beginner into a completely new discipline (photography in this case, but regardless, that's not the point). The teacher is passionate enough (and it really shines through) to show you exactly what photography is really about, and keeps going straight to the point in every single lesson. I think this has always been the real purpose of the course, in the teacher's mind, that is to really make beginners and, maybe, just curious people understand what photography really is - did I write that already? - and how it can improve your everyday life at a really small cost. In this, I would give this guy six stars if I could. More technically speaking, the very basics are explained in a really concise and straightforward way, and I feel, after completing this course, that my toolbox is equipped well enough to crash dive and deepen my knowledge, both theoretical and practical, of the many aspects that make up this beautiful form of art. Now if you would excuse me, I have to go out and take some (not yet so) amazing pictures :-)

Great course for somebody who already know a lot about Photoshop, but lacks the camera / shooting knowledge. I've always wanted to know more about the exposure triangle and this course has improved my understanding of that. Although it is great for understanding it as a beginner, I think it could be improved even more by focusing on the camera and showing how the functions are altered when shooting in certain situations / subjects. That would make things even clearer a beginner. I would be confident of now buying a DSLR camera and experimenting with the exposure triangle.

Hands down the best explanation of the exposure triangle and it's use, the diagram alone is clear and comprehensive. So you're looking for a photography course? You can tell a lot about the presentation of the course itself...this is clearly a professional course Jellis is young, knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. He is not just talking to a camera. Everything is described in detail, what it is and how it applies. I had some basic knowledge but this course gave me more and the confidence to really apply the principals. His examples, made me jealous of his life (lol) but are great illustrations of everything he teaches. There are so many of these "beginner" courses, had I found this one first there wouldn't have been a need to take any others.

A great class that I would highly recommend if you want to feel empowered to not use the 'Auto' feature on your camera. There was quite a bit of detail, but also some vagueness - which was important because this class is about the different options/modes you can use on your camera and not tied to a specific camera. Really good detail into the why of each different aspect/mode was important and when to use them - great examples and explanations. Thank you!

Great "over view" of photography thus far, examples are sometimes vague, maybe he will get more engaging in later videos, but the always sitting filming and giving examples from the same place, leaves me with a very lazy sort feeling of teaching approach.. Maybe later he will make more videos where he engages and actually ventures outside of the trailer and actually show us a first person approach rather than this third person sit down descriptive session non engaged session. Otherwise I enjoyed the material very much, good intro into photography.

I have now completed the entire course and I can say with full confidence that this is an excellent course for beginners. I came in with absolutely no prior knowledge to photography and this course gave me the confidence and know how to take my interest in photography to the next level. I had fun from start to finish, and this helped me with my practice out in the field with my Nikon. Plus I personally think the instructor is great; he knows what he's talking about and explains everything in easy to understand terms!
