Advanced Photography Course; A Serious Step to Becoming a Professional
If you know the basics of photography and now want to improve the quality of your photos by several levels, the Advanced Photography Course is the best next step for you. This course is designed for people who want to move beyond the beginner or semi-professional level and enter the professional world of photography; where lighting, advanced composition and professional editing play a major role in the quality of the output.
What will you learn in the Advanced Photography Course?
Professional Lighting in Different Styles
In the Advanced Photography Course, you will enter the complete world of lighting. The difference between soft and hard light, the effect of the distance of the light from the subject, creating controlled shadows and creating attractive light environments are some of the topics you will learn in this course in a practical way. The goal is to be able to create light in any environment—whether studio or outdoor—exactly according to the result you want.
Understanding Studio Lighting
In this section, you will learn how studio flashes, softboxes, snoots, umbrellas, reflectors, and other lighting tools affect the output of the photo and in what conditions each one works best. With practical exercises, you will learn how to adjust the lighting so that your photos gain more depth, volume, and clarity.
Professional Portrait Photography
Portrait is one of the most important skills for any photographer and is taught in a very specialized way in the advanced photography course. You will learn how to combine facial expressions, body shape, poses, angles, and light to capture a natural, professional, and impressive face. You will also learn how to communicate with the subject to have a more relaxed, natural, and professional output.
Controlling Depth of Field and Creating Professional Bokeh
In advanced photography, mastering depth of field is very important. You will learn how to soften and blur the background, how to control depth of field, and how to guide the viewer’s eye to the main point. These skills are essential for portraiture, modeling, advertising, and even nature photography.
Expert Composition and Professional Image Structure
Going Beyond the Basic Rules
In the introductory course, you learned the basic rules of composition, such as the rule of thirds or leading lines. But in the advanced photography course, you will learn how to break these rules and create more complex, creative, and story-telling compositions. At this level, you will learn how to create space, how to control elements, and how to take photos that have a sense of meaning and narrative.
Analyzing Professional Photos
A key part of the course is analyzing professional photos and understanding why angles, lighting, and compositions were chosen. By looking at strong photos, you will learn how to train your eye and strengthen your artistic vision. These analyses will help your photography level rise several notches in terms of art.
Professional photo editing; from correction to creation
Specialized editing in Lightroom and Photoshop
In the advanced photography course, editing is not limited to adjusting light and color. You will learn how to process RAW files in a systematic way, how to make skin tones more natural, how to control photo tonality, and how to correct blemishes, noise, and image defects with precise Photoshop tools. The goal is for your final output to be of print, advertising, or professional standard.
Creating custom presets and settings
You will learn how to create personalized presets to speed up your editing and have your own unique color style. This is very important for photographers who want to create an artistic signature.
