In the manner of a language course, this introductory photography course will teach you first and foremost to communicate with your device. Our goal is that when you have a photo idea in mind, you can get it by clearly "explaining" to your camera what you want from it.
To do this, the photo course focuses exclusively on learning by doing. It takes place entirely outdoors, device in the hand. By going back and forth between theory, practice and immediate feedback of results by your PhotoProf (our photographers-trainers), you will be autonomous after only 4 hours.
You will then be able to manipulate the 3 main parameters of each shooting which are the aperture of the diaphragm, the speed of shutter and the sensitivity of the sensor; settings to use regardless of the type of photos you want to make (portraits, landscapes, moving or still subjects etc ...).
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The meeting place is set at the foot of the Petit Arc de Triomphe (also called "Arc du Carrousel") located at the entrance to the Tuileries Garden on the Louvre Pyramid side. Your trainer will be waiting for you under the monument.
What to expect
Understand the "exposure triangle" made up of the three shooting parameters used for any shot: the shutter speed (or exposure time), the aperture of the diaphragm and the sensitivity of the sensor.
Differentiate between the various shooting modes of your device (Speed priority, Aperture priority, P, M, etc ...)
COMPOSITION OF THE IMAGE
Introduction to the rule of thirds, the golden ratio and lines of force.
Use of vanishing lines.
STILL SUBJECTS: OPENING AND DEPTH OF FIELD

In some cases, obtain a totally clear photo (exercise: the landscape).
Discover point and continuous focus modes.
Choosing the right AF point.
MOVING SUBJECTS: SHUTTER SPEED
Freeze a moving subject, avoiding blur and underexposure.

Create movement with zooming or spinning effects.
Introduction to the light-painting technique.
Give an impression of speed with a spun background.
