John PerezThere is a lot of science that goes into photography... don't let it scare you! Depth-of-field, shutter speeds, F-stops, film speeds, lenses, just to name a few aspects. This class is designed as a "crash-course" to help you understand these complex topics, along with some hands-on time shooting outdoors, practicing learned skills.

Fundamentals of Photography is a great class for introducing beginners to the principles of photography. More experienced photographers will appreciate the reinforcement of these principles, while gaining an understanding of the workings of a dSLR camera. During these 4 weeks you'll gain confidence and abilities to improve photo-taking of your favorite subjects.

Registration Deadlines: Thursday, 1 week before 1st session

"I have had a DSLR camera for several years and had pretty much mastered the Auto mode. I didn't even know how to use the manual mode and no matter what I read I just couldn't understand f/stops. With great apprehension I signed up for the Fundamentals class. When I met the instructor and the rest of the class my fears were immediately put to rest. I learned so much about my camera and photography in this course and I finally understood f/stops. My only regret is that I waited so long to do it. I look forward to taking advantage of other classes offered by Indy Photo Coach and building on the knowledge gained in this class. I highly recommend this class to anyone who has a DSLR and is resorting to the Auto mode like I was. There really is a huge difference!" -Robin Fleming, Recent Student

"To find a service with the expertise, professionalism and knowledge of Indy Photo Coach has been a blessing. I started out "liking" to take pictures.

After one session with IPC, I have built the confidence, passion and knowledge to accomplish so much more with my camera..."
