Description

What will you learn in this Professional Wedding Photography

Module 1

In this module you will learn all about What Makes A Good Photographer? As a photographer and a photography teacher, I am often asked the question, “What makes a good photo?” It seems like a simple enough question, right? Anyone of us could wax both practical and philosophical over what makes a good– or even great– photo.

Module 2

This module will teach you about Types of Cameras for Photography. Thanks to modern technology, not only has it become a regular everyday thing to capture photos (unlike during the earlier generations when only film cameras were available), but more and more types of cameras are being developed to suit every aspiring photographer and photography enthusiast’s artistic style and needs.

Module 3

In this module you will learn all about How Does a Camera Capture an Image? Understanding how a camera captures an image first requires a basic understanding of light and how it works. The objects you see are interacting with individual particles of light, called photons. These photons reflect off of objects, changing their frequency slightly to correspond with the colour of the object, and then they travel out where they can be observed.

Module 4

This module will teach you about Which Digital Camera Features Do You Really Need? Everybody loves getting more bang for their buck, which helps to explain why most digital cameras offer scads of functions. However, the more features are packed into a camera, the more difficult to use the camera may become. There may be so many features that you have no idea what most of them do when to use them, or how they affect your pictures.

Module 5

In this module you will learn all about Know The Basic Elements Of Your Digital Camera. What is the first feeling, when you buy a camera? For most people, it is to quickly learn the basic elements, so that they can start using their latest buy effectively.

Module 6

This module will teach you about Photographic Lenses. Since optical designs of photographic lenses (wide angle to telephoto) differ so radically we will not go into detail about optics. This lesson will cover a basic discussion of lenses and some good tips on lens use and care. Lenses are designed to refract (bend) light rays.

Module 7

In this module you will learn all about Rule of Thirds. The “Rule of Thirds” one of the first things that budding digital photographers learn about in classes on photography and rightly so as it is the basis for well balanced and interesting shots.

Module 8

This module will teach you about Understanding Digital Camera Modes. Having a good understanding of the digital camera modes is essential to control the exposure in photography. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced amateur, you should know what each camera mode does and when it should be used, under what circumstances.

Module 9

In this module you will learn all about The Importance Of A Wedding Photography Shot List. As you look for a few wedding photography tips, remember this one, which may be the most important of them all. Ensure that each of your brides, grooms and their families create what is called a shot list. You do not read minds, so you do need to know what they are expecting from you.

Module 10

This module will teach you about Mistakes First Time Wedding Photographers Make. As you prepare for your first wedding shoot, be sure you have done everything to be ready for this event. There are plenty of things for you to do, including having a lot of fun. Although you may be very prepared for this event and have done all of your homework, there may be a few things that you forgot about. It is actually common for first time wedding photographers to make a few mistakes along the way

Module 11

In this module you will learn all about A Wedding Photographer Cannot Be Timid. The wedding photographer is tasked with finding the best shots and impressing the couple with some of the most memory rich photos they can. It is no easy job, but to do it right, you may need to be bold. A shy photographer is not going to be able to pull off the great shots simply because he or she will not get into those places enough to find them. Getting the shot means that you need to be bold.

Module 12

This module will teach you about Are You Using RAW? This wedding photography tip is not one that many people will like. The problem is that you need do to a bit more work with it. It is a common situation for the wedding photographer to be in a tight position after the wedding is over.

Module 13

In this module you will learn all about Make The Most Of The Unexpected With Wedding Photography. After doing all of the planning you can, you wake up the morning of the wedding photo gig that you have and something has gone wrong. It is something that you did not plan for, nor did you have a backup plan in place that could deal with it.

Module 14

This module will teach you about Problems On The Site For Wedding Photographers. As a wedding photographer, you may run into problems from time to time. It may be difficult to pull off all the right shots all the right times. However, something else that happens from time to time that can really deflate even the most experienced wedding photographers. For example, you may find yourself unable to communicate your needs properly or you may not be getting the shots you want due to your equipment not working properly. What can you do?

Module 15

In this module you will learn all about Use Continuous Shooting Features. Although you do a lot of hard work to get each of your formal shots to be as natural and as beautiful as possible, you may not be getting the best shot available. Continuous shooting is a resource that you can benefit from. This feature, which is available on many professional cameras, allows you to keep shooting, repeatedly right away.

Module 16

This module will teach you about Wedding Photographer Gets Up High. Have you always wanted to get everyone into the same shot as a wedding photographer? You want everyone to be included but in some situations, there are hundreds of people at an event. It is impossible, in most situations, to plan this type of photo if you are going to have everyone looking directly at you at eye level.

Module 17

In this module you will learn all about Showcase Your Photos At The Wedding Reception. Did you know that you can take full advantage of the wedding reception not just as a way to get word of mouth advertising but also as a way to showcase the beautiful pictures you are taking? One tip that you may find useful as a wedding photographer is to bring along your laptop if you are using digital cameras.

Module 18

This module will teach you about Wedding Photography With Two Cameras? You may be a new wedding photographer. This may even be your first gig. You likely have one camera to use and you are not even sure it is the right one.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
