The feeling of dissatisfaction with one's own photos, and the wish to take better pictures, stems from our pursuit of beauty. To this end, we've drawn from our own photography learning journeys to design a learning system suitable for everyone, enabling you to unlock your photographic talent and experience the joy of creating great photos yourself. Creating eye-catching photographic works is not out of reach. With a grasp of simple principles and methods, you can capture the diverse beauty of everyday life at any moment! After guiding over 1200 students, we can confidently say: under our instruction, no one fails to learn photography! https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/%E5%A4%8F%E5%A4%9C%E5%BD%B1%E5%83%8F%E5%8A%9B-%E5%AF%A6%E6%88%B0%E5%BC%8F%E6%95%99%E5%AD%B8_comp.jpg We distill abstract, difficult, and complex photographic knowledge into concise key points, allowing students to quickly get started. Photography isn't something learned solely in a classroom. Therefore, we've designed intensive outdoor practical sessions. As you photograph alongside the instructor, you'll learn professional photographer techniques firsthand through their demonstrations! Any questions that arise during the process can be resolved by the instructor in real-time! __**Photography Course Content**__ https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/%E5%A4%8F%E5%A4%9C%E5%BD%B1%E5%83%8F%E5%8A%9B-%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E7%B8%BD%E8%A6%BD_compress.jpg https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/%E5%A4%8F%E5%A4%9C%E5%BD%B1%E5%83%8F%E5%8A%9B%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%96%E7%AA%84%E7%89%88-1_compress.jpg To capture great photos, one must first see a great scene. Our passion for photography stems from our resonance with the world's beauty. To preserve this beauty in photographs, keen observation and a mastery of "composition" are essential. Composition is the language of photography. Distance, angle, foreground, and background are your tools. Understanding various compositional techniques can elevate the aesthetic appeal of your photos and even lead to surprisingly interesting shots! **Session 1 Content:** **■ Fundamental Principles of Composition** **■ Learning Composition from the Masters: Secrets of Photography Masters, Analyzing Six Universal Compositional Techniques** **■ The Photographer's Heart: Discover Your Photographic Niche** **■ Practical Exercise: Rapidly Developing Compositional Skills** https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/%E5%A4%8F%E5%A4%9C%E5%BD%B1%E5%83%8F%E5%8A%9B%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%96%E7%AA%84%E7%89%88-2_compress.jpg The technical aspects of photography are a challenge for many. We will explain the most crucial foundational concepts in the quickest and simplest way. Whether you use a smartphone or a DSLR, our instructors will guide you step-by-step to master your equipment, allowing you to easily learn the basic professional photography workflow. We will ensure everyone gets hands-on practice during the live shooting sessions! **Session 2 Content:** **■ Photography Fundamentals: Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, Focal Length** **■ Hands-on Equipment Tutorial: Cameras and Smartphones** **■ Smartphone Photography: How to Capture Professional Photos with Your Phone** **■ The Photographer's Eye: Cultivating an Insight into Beauty** **■ Practical Exercise: A Micro-Adventure in the City** https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/%E5%A4%8F%E5%A4%9C%E5%BD%B1%E5%83%8F%E5%8A%9B%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%96%E7%AA%84%E7%89%88-3_compress.jpg The most important and challenging technique in photography is mastering light and shadow.
