Overview

Description

This guide by pro photographer John Batdorff will help students conquer the fundamentals of travel and street photography and capture stunning pictures.

Batdorff starts with the basics—composition, light, and exposure—and how to plan and pack the right equipment for different types of shooting conditions. He also covers all the key camera features that affect the image. Once students have captured those shots, John takes them step-by-step through an effective workflow in Lightroom to organize their images and develop their own personal style.

This guide is for beginning-to-intermediate digital photography students to understand the basics and bring their own unique artistic expression to any situation whether they’re taking landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, or food and drink shots.
