About this class

At photography course in Kiel, as a young team of photographers and videographers, we will show you in a relaxed way how to really control your camera: aperture, time, ISO, white balance, secure focus and clean image composition. We practice directly with your own camera, indoors or outdoors, in a small group — without technical jargon, with lots of practice, honest feedback and handy cheat sheets for everyday use. Typical motifs such as portrait, movement and available light sit afterwards, so that you get reliable results away from “automatic”.
