Course program:
Lesson 1 "Hi, what camera and lens would you recommend?"
● I answer all the most popular questions briefly, to the point and with an incredible desire to save you money and save you from unnecessary purchases.
● Evaluation of course participants' work and comments.
● What is a photo? Why, with certain knowledge, someone creates masterpieces, filming with a phone, while someone has a camera for a hundred thousand that shoots garbage.
● What is exposure, exposure meter and exposure metering? How does the camera tell us in advance if we are going to do crap?
● Unnecessary modes of your camera – 10 seconds.
● Desired modes of your camera. What is the difference between all these Av, Tv, P?
● How do you feel confident when your camera is set to M mode?
● Only three values, and for some reason confusion arises. All about shutter speed, aperture and ISO

● Features of working with the camera while using constant light
● Features of working with the camera while using pulsed light
Homework: shooting at home, taking into account the knowledge gained.
Lesson 3 "Composition and contrast"
I must say right away: I am not a nerd who makes his shots strictly according to the rules. And my training is aimed at developing taste, and not hammering in what doesn't really work already.
● Basic techniques
● How to achieve contrast in the picture, and not in Photoshop with the slider
● Analysis of famous works in order to analyze composition and contrast
● Crop. How to get an excellent one from a lost frame?
● Examples showing how one and the same place can be done beautifully, or disgustingly. All about squats, lying on the ground and climbing to high points
● Reflections, prisms and other tricks. What happens if you point a flashlight at a teapot full of water? Wow beauty!
Lesson 4 "Steal like an artist"
● Where to look for inspiration?
● How to disassemble other people's work, not gasping and groaning in surprise, but reading the actions done by the photographer?
● How to organize incoming references?
● How to systematize incoming knowledge?
● Where to look for this very incoming knowledge?
● Learning to use Google Docs and Spreadsheets
● We learn to fix the analysis of other people's work in order to repeat it. (repeat still fails)
● We make a plan for the first creative shooting
● How to make frames play with each other?
● Why is a series not just a collection of identical photos?
● Demonstrate with examples how I repeated what I threw into my saves
Homework: we collect the first Google document with references and try to repeat it.
Lesson 5 "Remove it immediately on the street!"
Class format: pre-recorded video from street shooting. Explanation of actions, demonstration of "Good / Bad", those very lying on the ground, climbing stairs. Work with flashlights and flashes.
The video is sent a couple of days before the online meeting. At the meeting, everything is discussed again, then questions.
Homework: street portrait photography.
Lesson 6 "Remove it immediately indoors!"
Class format: demonstration of shooting in real time (stream).

● Diffusers, reflectors, flags, curtains and other scary words
● Dialogue with the model
● Getting emotions
● Shooting details to complete the series
Homework: Indoor portraiture.
Lesson 7 "Processing"
The purpose of the lesson: to prove that if the source is disgusting, then processing it will not save it. And if the source is good, then you can emphasize the advantages in graphic editors without spending a day on it
● RAW development. The difference between Camera Raw, Lightroom, Capture One. Where is better? (the answer is cool everywhere)
● How to get the most out of RAW?
● Why are presets shit?
● Which sliders to turn to make it brighter, yeah, but here it's darker, yeah, but here you can add volume? Claaaaass!
● Retouching in Photoshop. Frequency decomposition, Dodge and Burn is not abstruse words and actions
● Major retouching mistakes
● Texture replacement. How to skin one and graft it onto someone less fortunate
