About This Course

Evoke emotions and improve your photos through the creative use of light

Exposure is one of the most fundamental ways you can use light to influence the impact and emotionality of your photos. In this hands-on course, you’ll gain a clear understanding of exposure's three variables: ISO, shutter speed and aperture. You’ll learn how to use the Exposure Triangle to fix a correct exposure and the Histogram tool to analyse your camera's meter readings during photoshoots and in post production. You’ll also explore several examples of Histograms for photos shot in different lighting conditions and learn how to intuitively analyse its data to improve your exposures. By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a solid foundation in understanding exposure’s principles to aid you on your artistic journey.


Sharpen Your Skills

  • Perfect Your Exposures With The Histogram Tool

Through in-depth explanations and engaging photo examples you’ll learn how to easily leverage the Histogram Tool’s accurate and detailed feedback to assess your exposure’s quality. It will also help you learn to easily differentiate between a “low-key” and an underexposed image, for purposeful, nuanced work.


  • Express Your Artistic Vision With Creative Exposure

The medium of photography uses a visual language. Every image you make communicates something - its colors, shapes and composition - every single element is interpreted by the viewer. Playing with light exposure helps bring your artistic ideas and signature style to life.

  • How to use the Exposure Triangle to set a correct exposure in your DSLR camera

  • Aperture settings adjustments to create your desired Depth of Field

  • How to adjust shutter speed to introduce “motion blur” or freeze the movement

Very informative but quite slow and repetitive on the histograms. Would have liked more examples on Aperture with macro /closeup shots to compare focus lengths. Overall quite a good beginners course or a nice refresher.
