The Skilled Photographer picks up where our first course, Jump Start Your Photography, left off. Emanuele “Manny” Pontoriero will once again push you to take your technical skills beyond the creative horizon that you currently have. Whether a serious amateur or budding professional you probably now realize that it’s not the camera but the person behind it that creates the stunning images we see in museums, art galleries, and print ads. Now you can learn the technical secrets that make those images possible. If you have real passion for photography and the burning desire to learn The Skilled Photographer course will push you into a new frontier of creativity. Best of all, Manny makes the learning process exciting, fun and entertaining.

Composition can make or break a photograph. Manny explains the different rules of composition and how to use them. Lighting can set the mood and engage the viewer. Different lighting techniques and contrast ratios are used to make your statement. This course helps you grow in your understanding of these important tools.

Camera functions are the technical side that helps you control creative image making. Depth of field, freezing action or getting a good exposure are all critical tools at the photographers disposal. Manny gives you easy to follow steps on how to use these tools.

This video instruction is your opportunity to experience that “eureka moment” where you not only understand how but finally why the techniques work. Learn from someone who makes it look easy, a master teacher and motivator and satisfy that hunger to become The Skilled Photographer.
