The intention behind Photographer’s Blog has always been primarily to share, live and teach photography to anyone who enjoys taking a photo. But not only teaching, teaching photography is not enough, With Photographer’s Blog the purpose was always to teach photography in the easiest and simplest way, in the closest possible language. I hold the theory that the majority of those who abandon photography training do so overwhelmed by the technical terminology, by the complexity of the explanations, by the “mediocre” of the teacher or person who teaches.
Teach, as I understand it
Teaching photography well does not only require being a good photographer, it also requires being a good communicator or at least worrying about communicating well. Teaching well has nothing to do with exhibiting knowledge or overwhelming the student with a litany of abbreviations and technicalities. Teaching well is simplifying, dosing, eliminating everything secondary and transmitting the essential first.
No embellishments.
Teaching is putting yourself in another’s shoes.
In these almost 6 years of life of the Photographer’s Blog, my team and I have never spared efforts in teaching and sharing: more than 600 articles and 5 photography books published to date, which is said soon, capable of appeasing the hunger of any enthusiastic photographer. Still there was something missing. Something that many of you asked for and that to date I could not answer: a photography course.
All the content of BdF is fantastic (modesty aside), however, each article deals with a specific facet of photography, each book is dedicated to a specific topic, tips for shooting a portrait here, how to capture a landscape there, composition , cameras, lenses, lighting, etc. But people needed something more global, material that teaches to enter photography from all its angles. A course that helps master photography. Reading about lighting or portraits is good but when the photographer already knows how to take photos. If you don’t have the base, the ramification is of little use.
Every week I get emails from photography academies proposing to announce them here on the Photographer’s Blog. At the same time I have already lost count of the times someone asked me to recommend a photography course and I WAS NOT CAPABLE. Most of the photography courses I know are terrible, too theoretical, or go to the other extreme and are very technical, they require previous technical preparation to simply be able to understand what the teacher says. Some courses are very good but they charge you 2,000 Euros as they are courses aimed at professional training. And when I think I have located the perfect course for the amateur photographer, it turns out that it is in a specific physical point and that, if you do not live in that particular city or town, it is difficult for you to attend.
Many readers have asked for it. I had never publicly acknowledged it but inside I had been asking myself for it even. Little by little it took shape and body and right now it is already a tangible reality. I can touch it by hand. The official Photographer’s Blog Online Photography Course already exists. He is alive 😉
Online Photography Course of Photographer’s Blog
I shared it last week with my VIP Readers, and today I am announcing it publicly and openly: the most important and exciting project to which I have dedicated my efforts in recent months will soon come to light, the Blog photography course. of the Photographer is already a reality. Right now we are in the final stretch finishing polishing the content, preparing exercises, bonuses and other material. If it were up to me, I would open the course today 😉 but there are small details missing, which I always like to take care of before presenting any project.
I can tell you in advance that it is a course in video format in which we touch on all the aspects that you need to know to get started in SLR photography. From the choice of the camera, to the story that we capture in a photo, going through the light, the composition, the manual adjustments, the modes. If you are interested, I will give you more details about the course in a few days in another article that I will publish shortly.
If I make a calculation of the amount of work that remains to finish preparing everything, so by eye, in a couple of weeks or 3 at the most the course has to be ready.
As has become my custom, the first to find out about the availability of the course will be the VIP Readers. If you are interested make sure you are subscribed with your email address below:
