“Photography is my way of bearing witness to the joy I find in seeing the extraordinary in ordinary.”

Photoparents - Advanced course


6 week Photography course designed to help further advance your photography skill and move beyond simply capturing what's in front of you. 

KEY COURSE INFO:
  • Course type: Instructor-led or self paced 
  • Course duration: 6 weeks
  • Skill level: Intermediate learners - you should already have some basic photography and camera knowledge
what you learn:

In this course we build on the key photo skills we introduce in the Fundamentals Course 

  • You will gain a much deeper understanding of photographic composition and how it translates to stronger, scroll-stopper images
  • This course will give you a new understanding of light and how to use it to create really exciting photographs in the most mundane of surroundings
  • This course will help you anticipate your environment and predict your settings so you can smoothly adjust your camera on the go.
  • This course will make you think, stretch you and challenge you.


skills covered:  
  •  creative use of manual mode
  •  creating strong compositions
  •  low light shooting
  •  capturing emotions
  •  introduction to flash
  •  using colour in photography

This is the course for you if :

  • Are already familiar with your camera - but want to get better at using it in full manual - with no overwhelm or frantic guesswork
  • You want to take photographs that look more polished and that truly show you what you pictured in your head - still true to your kids and who they are  
  • You want to be able to capture true emotions and express yourself through photography
  • You want to get more creative with light and colour to elevate your images and make them shine

In my opinion Photoparents Advanced 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.

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?

Frequently asked questions

What photographic knowledge do I need to start the course?

For our Advanced course, we expect that you are not a complete beginner and have some basic camera and photography knowledge. You do not need to be able to shoot in manual - in fact we dive into it in this course, but you should be familiar with basic camera terms and composition and light concepts. If you're not sure, just get in touch.

Can I buy the course without becoming a member?

No. The course is a part of our membership offerring - we can support you best in that way, ensure you have all necessary resources available to you and that you can connect with a likeminded peer group - all the things we KNOW to greatly increase your chances of actually completing the course, rather than just downloading and forgetting about it. But the membership doesn't tie you down - you can cancel anytime, even after 1 month if tthat's what you want. 

What do I need for the course?

  • A camera with manual controls - get in touch if you’re not sure if yours is up to the job. These days, most cameras beyond the simplest of point-and-shoot ones ( does anyone even buy these anymore?) tend to do just that. 
  • Ability to spend approximately 2-4h per week ( not necessarily in one go) on your photography practice. We suggest spending at least 15min daily for best results
  • Access to the internet ( that’s a given but we had to mention it )
  • A child / children you can practice your photography on

How do I choose between self-paced and instructor-led course

You will have access to the self-paced version of the course immediately after you join as a member and log into our learning space. Beyond that, all our courses get regularily scheduled Live, instructor led runs. You can will be able to see available live run courses schedule for the upcoming months from your membership area but if you've only just missed out on a scheduled course or need help before the next one is run, we can help too - just get in touch.
