A No-Nonsense Guide

Distilled from over a decade of hands-on instruction

There are many “complete” resources and guides for learning photography, but such references tend to be a mile wide and only an inch deep, as the saying goes. Although comprehensive, they summarize features and functions without providing a practical understanding of how a camera works, which is paramount to capturing compelling photographs.

This book dives straight into camera operation and gets you on the road to capturing beautiful images in Manual and Priority exposure modes. The website’s Resources section provides many fundamental topics that congest most beginner photography books and classes—for free, leaving room for more detailed explanations and example photos to illustrate the topics.

Many people are initially intimidated by cameras. But with time, practice, and patience, anyone can learn how to use that mysterious gadget, regardless of how far out of reach you think it is. Learning photography isn’t easy; it isn’t difficult either. Let this ebook properly guide you in your experiences with a camera.

Although the material is written in plain English and tries to avoid as much technical jargon as possible, some learn better when a knowledgeable and approachable instructor is present to guide them. Anyone fortunate enough to live in central Ohio and surrounding areas can endeavor to learn on their own with the PDF ebook alone. But if that proves more challenging than anticipated and you want to attend a class, you will receive a FULL CREDIT toward the cost of Beginner Photography ONE.

Now, there’s no reason to delay your photography adventures any longer. Instantly download the manual you hoped would come in the box and begin the journey toward taking better photos with your camera. Invest in yourself and learn a skill you can use and enjoy for the rest of your life.

Kudos to Danielle

Surprisingly, the furthest person who has driven to attend a class and join the outing was from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was shocked to learn this in the second session but was reassured by the student that her “drive was more than worth it.” Whew!

Here’s what she said in her Google review:

“I was gifted this course for Christmas, and it has been one of the best presents I’ve ever received. This course was GREAT, and I feel much more confident about my work. The pure passion exhibited by Braddley made the class all the more fun. He loves photography, and you can tell he genuinely loves teaching others. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed all of the classes, as well as the practice outing. I live several hours from Columbus, and my drive was more than worth it! I’m looking forward to taking Beginner Photography TWO!”
