We'd like to introduce you to our online training partner, iPhotography. If you're looking to learn photography, this is where we'd recommend you start.
I've helped create courses with iPhotography since 2017, so you'll see a fair bit of me across their training content — the lessons, the videos, the critiques.
What makes it worth recommending is the tone. Photography online is full of people who make you feel stupid for asking, and the whole point of that place is that it doesn't. It has been going since 2012, which in internet years is practically Victorian, and the community is the most decent I've come across.
The courses are online and self-paced, so you start when you like and stop when life gets in the way. There are seven of them, and one obvious place to begin.
These are partner links. If you sign up I get a small cut, at no extra cost to you.
Start hereEighteen lessons that take you from "what does this dial do?" to shooting confidently in manual. If you only ever do one of these, do this one.
