Photography is the practice of making images by exposing film or another medium to a timed flash of light. The basic equipment used for photography has changed dramatically in the last decades, many people finding digital photography an inexpensive and creative hobby. We use photography as a means of communication worldwide: to sell things, to tell stories, capture memories, evoke passions, fight for causes, make new meanings, and inspire the imagination. Mastering the art of photography is a technical and challenging experience. Even with an automatic, digital camera, one has to learn how to frame a shot, choose a background, interact with the subject, use natural light, and select the right supplies and tools.

In this free video series, expert photographer James Flint gives you a crash course in pro photography. James will teach you about lighting, focus, and composition. You will find out how to measure for light, strategies for controlling the light in your photos, and tips for overcoming limited lighting. You will get advice on perspective and point of view as well. James gives info on focusing, when to choose manual over automatic, tricks and effects, and how to set up your depth of field. A full photographer's tutorial, all here.
