What We’ll Cover

🌤 Understanding Light

  • Natural light vs available light

  • Direction of light: front, side, back

  • Quality of light: soft vs harsh

  • How time of day changes mood and story

  • Using shadows as part of the composition, not a mistake

👀 Learning to See Before Shooting

  • Slowing down and observing the scene

  • Identifying the subject (and removing distractions)

  • Asking: What caught my eye here?

🧭 Composition That Strengthens the Story

  • Rule of thirds (and when to break it 😉)

  • Leading lines & visual flow

  • Framing within the frame

  • Foreground, middle ground, background

  • Balance, negative space, and simplicity

🎯 Intentional Shooting

  • Shooting with purpose instead of “spray and pray”

  • Choosing a perspective: high, low, close, wide

  • Making one strong image instead of ten average ones

Hands-On Practice

  • Guided shooting exercises

  • Light-finding challenges

  • Composition prompts to stretch creativity

  • Real-time feedback and gentle coaching while shooting

(This class is beginner-friendly but powerful for all levels — especially if you feel stuck, rushed, or unsure what to shoot next.)
