HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL LEARN in this course : 
This course was designed to help you grow your photography skills beyond just being able to take "nice looking photos".
You will love this course if you want to keep growing your photographic eye, truly control your camera and start making your photos reflect who you are and who your family are.
This is the course where your photography really picks up the pace. We will support and challenge you to help you find your own voice in photography.
How do I get FULL control of my camera? - shooting in full manual - but with clarity and purpose
When is the ‘correct’ exposure not the RIGHT one and why is my camera confused? And more importantly, how to fix it in camera?
How do you capture genuine emotion and NOT just fake smiles? No more 'smile for Mummy'
How to make your light AND SHADOWS work for you? and capture stunning images even if you think you have barely any light
What makes a ‘strong image’ and how do I begin to get them more consistently?
INSIDE THE MODULES - aka WHAT DO YOU LEARN?
Module 1: Getting started in Manual mode
First steps into shooting in full manual – understanding your exposure and metering, finding correct exposure for your subject, handling over and under exposure and adjusting your settings without even taking your camera away from your eyes.
Major Takeaways:
At the end of the module you will have gained full control of your camera - no more guessing game and unpredictable results with all the control going firmly to you. You will be able to understand your jump off points for different situations and how to adjust them to the changing light or environment
Module 2: More on manual exposure and why your camera is often wrong
Learning when the ‘correct’ exposure is not the “right exposure”, understanding and interpreting your histograms, learning how your environment can help you get the right exposure even in tricky light, dealing with challenging light situations.
Major Takeaways:
Knowing when to trust and not trust your camera's exposure assessment. Knowing exactly how to adjust things when the images don't turn out looking right out of the camera. Having a method to help you capture different colour accurately - especially when it comes to skin tones, or elements that are bright or dark
Module 3: Powerful composition 
Learning what makes a strong image and learning to create your own, consistently, with the help of our advanced composition techniques – beyond the rule of thirds. Visual storytelling and creating connection to create images which go beyond just pretty.
Major Takeaways:
Learning new concepts in composition - things that will help you create exiting visual flow, help with impactful storytelling and draw the viewer's eye into the image rather than away from it. 
Next course starts on 15th April 2024Get your space now
Module 4: No such thing as bad light
There is no such thing as bad light - even with just a sliver of it you can make a statement in your images. In this module we teach you how to work with low light - through low key photography - playing with light and shadows. And we give you an introduction to Flash - for when you want to boost your existing natural light that little bit more. 
 
Major Takeaways:
You will learn how to use light and shadows to your advantage, literally learning to paint with light - letting it uncover your subject, and hide what you want to stay out of light. Much like the light module in our Fundamentals course this is very much an AH-HA lesson that will shake your photography to its core.
Module 5: Photographing emotions 
In this module we get under our subject's skin and focus on photographing emotions. We show you how to reply on more than facial expression to show emotions and how to use your creative toolkit, including colour theory to make the viewer see and understand the emotion felt in the moment. 
Major Takeaways:
Learning how to capture genuine connection with your subject and their true emotions – whether happy or mad! Going beyond the smiles or frowny faces to portray your children’s true selves and capturing the moment. Using body language and other creative means – from colour theory, editing style and more!


BONUS Module 6: Your creative self
Exploring various photographic styles and conventions. Learning to recognise your own strengths and weaknesses and taking steps to grow further. Bonus creative exercises to take you outof your rut and help you continue to grow your photography.







In my opinion Advanced level 2 is absolute must as it expand the knowledge from level 1 to the point, that you can take photos confidently, and knowing what you do. I did it online and my teachers were superb, passionate, helpful and very flexible.

Photography For Parents - Shooting With Flash
Next course starts on Monday 12th Feb 2024
Scared of Flash? Never got good results from it? Not sure how it works with your camera? Thinking it’s bound to be complicated and just for studio work? This is the course for you! We show you how to work your flash and your camera – on and off camera! - to get great, natural looking results. In this course you'll discover how to use flash not just to supplement light in dim spaces, but to use it creatively, to help you create images you wouldn't be able to capture with just natural light. 
KEY COURSE INFO:
Course type: Instructor-led
Course duration: 4 weeks
Course format: Online course with interactive live webinar classes, feedback on your learning and support group
WHAT YOU LEARN:
You will learn how to make your flash work with your camera and how to control it so that it gives you beautiful, natural looking light
You will learn to work with the flash off camera - giving you the freedom to position your light wherever it will most suit your subject rather than relying on what you have with natural or indoor light
You will learn to play with flash to capture a variety of creative outcomes and apply it to lots of shooting situations - from learning to fake pretty window light to freezing motion with Flash
understanding flash equipment
learning to shoot with on-camera flash
earning to shoot with off-camera flash
learning to bounce the light for natural looking results
using flash as a sole or supplementary light source
freezing movement with flash where the shutter speed wont allow it
THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU IF :
You find yourself struggling with light especially in the darker autumn / winter months, and there never seems to be enough ISO or aperture to get you what you want
You can already use your camera in manual and want to add mastery of detachable flash to your skillset - so you can never worry about insufficient or poor light wherever you are, or whatever unknown space you go into
You want to be able to make flash images look natural rather than sporting that famous 'deer in the headlights look. A good flash image never 'looks' like a flash image
You want to learn how to capture creative images using a flash - such as freezing motion, creating dramatic shadows, or adding a splash of light to specific areas of the frame.
You want to add this versatile skill to your toolbox so you can adapt it to different shooting scenarios. ESPECIALLY if you're considering taking up photography professionally or semi professionally, this is an immensely useful skill to have.

Why shoot with flash in the first place? 
“Don’t use Flash – it will wash out your child”“Flash will make your photos look horrible”‘You can’t control flash – no control over what your photos will look like”
You may have heard those statements, maybe even uttered them yourself. And to a degree – they can be true – but only because, if you don’t know how to control and work any tool, it’s likely to give you terrible outcomes – remember how much poorer your photos were when you first started with your camera on full auto?
Here is how I see Flash, and what this course is about:
Flash lets me bring light where there would normally be not enough light available to take a well exposed photo – and let me tell you – in glorious British weather, that’s more often that I would like!
Flash lets me shape the light to suit my needs – I can make it moody or bright, I can even make it look like natural light ( yes really)
Flash lets me neutralise ugly light and make it look good ( anybody else cursed with ugly spotlight lights in their home? no? just me? )
Flash lets me be in control, especially in unknown venues and locations, spaces where I won’t get a chance at that second shot.
Flash helps me fill in shadows when shooting in very bright light – the goal is not to stop using natural light, but to help create a balanced image where natual light alone can't cut it
COURSE PREREQUISITES
YOUR SKILLS:
We recommend that you are comfortable in shooting in full manual mode. It's possible to use flash in priority modes of course, but you don't have full control of its strength and level.


YOUR EQUIPMENT:
You will need to have a detachable flash for your camera make. This could be the same brand as your camera or a compatible third party flash manufacturer. 
You will also need a way of triggering your flash OFF camera - in some cases, you may be able to do this directly from camera or via an additional remote trigger / controller. Click here to see our Flash buying guide below

INSIDE THE MODULES - aka WHAT DO YOU LEARN?
Module 1: Getting Started with Flash
In this module we introduce you to the principles of making your flash work with your camera. We show you how the two work together in layering exposures, how you can control both the flash and natural light side and how to achieve predictable outcomes from your flash. This is the biggest learning curve because the way you work your camera with flash is very different to how you do this with just natural light and understanding the control side of things will let you get creative afterwards. 
Major Takeaways:
At the end of the module you will have gained an understanding of how to work your flash ON your camera. With that, you will have learned how to balance your key light and your fill light, how to combine flash exposure with a natural light exposure, how to supplement or even replace light with flash light. You will also make first steps into bouncing the light to give it a more natural appearance. 
Module 2: Taking your flash OFF camera 
In this module we teach you how to make your flash work when detached from your camera. We look at different techniques and methods or shooting off camera as well as any additional equipment you may need for this. We teach you how to use that off camera flash for a number of practical and creative examples
Major Takeaways:
You will be able to use the flash off camera - whatever your preferred off camera methos. We will explore using off camera flash as the key light - creating low key and high key images, as fill light and as a supplementary light to provide additional dimension to the images. 
Module 3: Making flash look natural 
In this module we learn to recognise how you can adjust the very quality of your flash to create natural looking images. We learn how to bend - or bounce the light - on and off camera, to create the kind of images that noone would ever suspect of being taken with flash. We also introduce you to a number of light modifiers and show you what you can expect from them as well as what might work in the way you take the photos. 
Major Takeaways:
Learn how to modify your flash to achieve soft or hard light look. Discover how to bounce your flash and where from and how the angle of those flash bounces will give your subject very different looks. Learn about light fall-off and how to apply this principle to achieve more or less contrast filled images when using flash/ 
Module 4:Flash and motion
In this module we show you how to use flash when trying to freeze your subject - whether it is your child bouncing on the soufe in dim Novemeber light or an inanimate object making a splash. We also introduce you to a few way you can play with flash and your shutter speed to achieve fun and creative outcomes. 
Major Takeaways:
You will learn how to freeze movement with flash - even on very slow shutter speeds or in very poor light. You will learn how shutter and flash work together and how you can achieve great creative outcomes such as high speed photography or freezing rain.
