I have now got a new found love for taking photos. Everywhere I go my camera goes and I am always looking at everything and anything from different angles to take a pic of. I never thought I would say this, but I now think that I want to start a photography business. I have always wanted to do something that I enjoy but have never found it, doing this photography course has made me see the light. It won't happen right away as I have much more to learn but it will happen and I will enjoy it. Thank you so much, Chris, for what you have taught many of us including me. You have made a massive impact on my life with what I have learned and now enjoy."~ Kelly Tait_________________________*****"Chris Parker is very easy to understand. He clearly explains difficult concepts with real-life comparisons. He organized this photography course very well and uses excellent visual aids and provides beautifully designed handouts to download. There is no wasted time in this course. Sometimes instructors ramble on, but not Chris. It is obvious he put a lot of thought into what he wanted to cover in each section. He stays on track and is engaging. He responds very quickly to QA section. He is very professional."~ Dawn Lundblad_________________________*****"This is a great photography course whether you are a beginner or a semi beginner with some knowledge just needing a refresher course. It has lots of information not only provided but more importantly it is explained."~ David Cangiolisi_________________________*****"It is going to help me tremendously. Already understanding things now that I couldn’t before. YEAH!"~ Sheryl Sullivan _________________________*****"I enjoyed Chris Parker's Photography 101 course. While I do not consider myself a beginner, I did want to take a refresher and review some basic concepts that I never truly understood. Mr. Parker is a great instructor as he explains and illustrates the basic principles of photography clearly and concisely. I learned so much and gained the confidence to shoot if full manual mode. I look forward to taking more of his courses in the future!"~ Joan DeMarco_________________________*****"The best explanation I have ever had! The best lesson!" ?~ Kenny Chun*****"I like the level of depth he goes into but also explains it clearly not assuming prior knowledge."~ Ben Rae*****"This is a great photography course whether you are a beginner or a semi-beginner with some knowledge just needing a refresher course. It has lots of information not only provided but more importantly it is explained. Chris Parker made this course / lesson not only easy to follow and understand but very educational.

You definitely will, once you learn the exact techniques I use.  Plus, you'll learn real-world advice for deciding on the approach you want for YOUR creative vision.  Watch in-studio and on-location photography shoots and see my creative process in action… and I explain everything during the process too.  We'll then study the images to help re-enforce what you learn.Here's a (huge) list of all things you'll learn…Photography DSLR FUNdamentals.  Fundamentals don't have to be boring.  Understanding the fundamentals is key for a solid foundation in building your photography skills.Get ready to take your photography skills to the next level with Exposure.  In part 1, you'll learn the basics of each component that makes up the exposure.  You'll even learn something that is being mis-taught by other instructors.  In part 2 of exposure, we'll take a deep dive into the Aperture.  Includes in-depth explanations to help you finally understand Aperture and all those pesky numbers.  You'll finally know which Aperture does what for your creative vision.  In part 3 of exposure, we'll now take a deep dive into the Shutter Speed.  You'll learn the creative options this camera setting provides, when to use a tripod (to avoid camera shake), how to freeze the action or create silky smooth water.In part 4 of exposure, we'll explore the ISO.  You'll learn all about the good and bad of this camera setting, how it actually works and when you might need to adjust this camera setting.The next two tutorials include my secret weapon and an often overlooked camera setting.  You'll learn how to use the secret weapon for perfect exposures.  Which means you'll be able to take back creative control from your camera and manually set your settings for the exact type of photo you want.  Simple and easy with this tool.  Guaranteed.  Next, you'll learn how to see light in a way you've never done before.  This too will help you creatively and save you time while editing in Lightroom or Photoshop (or any other software).Next, we'll take all that information and bring it together in a live studio demonstration.  We'll go over every camera setting we've learned and trouble shoot how to choose which one.  Then, we'll bring those photos into Lightroom to see how our selections effect the creative outcome.  Plus, I'll share additional photography examples of what you learned.It's now time to venture outside for another photography demonstration.  I'll share with you my creative decision process for choosing specific camera settings.
