Opting for online photography classes has benefitted me in many ways. Read more to find out how.

Photography has become a well-sought industry these days. Some take it up as a profession while others as a hobby. I am the latter. In my young days, I was a photography lover but due to my everyday hustle, I gave up on my passion and got into my corporate job. 2020 was an unprecedented year. With remote working and lesser outings, I had a lot of time for myself so I thought of utilizing it to rekindle my passion. I searched online and came across a lot of online photography classes. After a lot of screening and reading reviews, I enrolled myself in one of them. And trust me, it did wonders and proved the fact that where there is passion, there is a way. I came across a lot of photography workshops in India too, but before that, I wanted to get my basics right because you cannot just attend any workshops, there are workshop you pay for and you don’t want it to go to waste. If you’re thinking to take up one of the online photography courses in India, then you are just at the right place. With the way the photography industry is booming in India, I must say in no time beginners will also catch up to experts in no time, and will help the industry flourish for a long time. Read on to know how online photography classes benefited me:

·         Techniques

Techniques form the foundation of photography. Although I was not an amateur, the course helped me brush up on the basics. With interactive and exclusive methods, I got to learn all about camera techniques. It taught me the technicalities of the camera including Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, Focus, and Exposures with the help of illustrative examples.

·         Types of Photography

Not just the basics, I also got to learn about different & unique types of photography too that many online photography courses in India may miss out on.. The course had modules on all different types of photography including wildlife, portrait, wedding, landscape, street life, architecture, fashion, sports, editorial, etc. The modules helped me understand the basics and ace the camera handling styles, tricks and tips of these genres.

·         Developing a niche

Apart from studying all the genres altogether, the best part was that the course helped me understand my strengths and interests. Later in my course, I found that I was inclined towards nature and landscape. So, I was able to customise my course and drive my learnings towards these genres only.

·         Editing

This one’s the most important part. This is a post-production step wherein one needs to edit the raw footage to turn them into perfect images. The online course gave me an in-depth knowledge of the tools of editing including software and devices. Not only this, but I also had to take part in self-examinations and assessments to test my skills. After the tests, I also had a one-on-one feedback session with my mentor.

There are a lot of photography schools that offer online courses in India, make sure you enroll in the best one. Many institutes that organise photography workshops in India also organise webinars and live sessions with experts these days, you can keep yourself updated about all these through different means.  One way of staying updated about workshops and online classes is by registering yourself in any photography group or club like the Lumix Photography Community.  This community will always keep you at the forefront be it classes, projects, or workshops, you will always be the first to know about it.
