In this course you will learn how to understand and modify light and composition techniques to be able to make and edit your own amazing product images using just the built in camera and editing app of any smartphone and using only the sun as a light source, without the need for any previous experience or specialist photography equipment. The course includes a series of short theory lessons allowing you to recognise, understand and achieve different styles of lighting using only natural light. There is also a series of lessons covering some of the most important and widely used compositional concepts giving you all the tools you need to both light and compose engaging, more professional looking images. There are 4 example photoshoots to follow along with to show all the theory in practise, as well as some simple yet effective self assessed assignments to build on and consolidate that knowledge. The overall aim of this course is to give you a solid foundation in photographic principles and best practices, allowing you to be able to make intentional and informed choices from conception to execution of great product or still life images in any style you choose, and with any camera, whether it’s a smartphone or even the most expensive camera in the world!
