General Outline of a Lesson Plan for each Weekly Session

Each session consists of mainly three parts:

Part I

Looking at your photographs (homework based on the theme of the previous week), commenting on the composition and technical aspects of them, and suggesting ways to improve them. At the same time, I will be answering your questions helping you to make your beginners' photography journey as easy as possible.

Part II

Explaining and demonstrating the new weekly theme. You will be applying in practice step by step what has been demonstrated and with my help, you will be able to understand and further practise every single aspect of shooting in Manual Mode as well as all the most important functions and settings of your digital camera.

Part III

Summing up the main ideas, which were discussed during the previous parts and discussing the nature of your next homework.

Handouts 

At the the end of each weekly session, I will be sending you e-handouts by email.

Camera guidelines

A  DSLR or mirrorless camera is ideally the best type of camera you can have if you want to really explore and experiment with photography at a beginner level. However, all types of cameras are welcome, as long as they have a manual shooting mode setting.
