Looking to improve your photography skills? you might want to consider taking an online photography course with Michael Freeman. The course consists of eight modules and is led by Michael Freeman, an accomplished photographer with over 40 technical photography books to his name. His work has been featured in over 100 books, many of which are great for coffee table browsing.
According to Michael, composition is the most important rule in photography. He suggests that it should always be your primary focus and the foundation of every photo you take. The subject matter of your image is also important as it reflects your unique perspective on the world around you. When you capture a real-life moment in a frame, you can convey a thousand words.
These online courses are perfect for beginners, and you don't need any prior experience to enrol. Although having a DSLR camera is ideal, you can easily complete the assignments with a compact camera or even a decent phone camera.
