A powerful skill at your fingertips 

Advanced and professional photographers do not generally use any of the semi-automatic modes (e.g Aperture / Shutter Speed priority etc..) when shooting in a studio environment. This course will demonstrate why, and show you just how easy it is to use Manual modes for consistent exposures and how it can aid the learning process. 

A bonus video on product photography is included, a DIY setup that can provide spectacular results.  Great for eBay or just making some money on the side. 

Designed for beginners (although not complete beginners), through to enthusiasts and professionals, on completing this course you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to start taking beautifully lit portraits that will wow your family and friends.

Modesty almost forbids me publishing some comments about my teaching style, taken from reviews of some of my other courses, but I overcame that, so here they are:-

Bernie is really easy to listen to, and his videos were really entertaining and kept you listening. (I also like his accent!)

Many online courses suffer from over prepared, monotonic boring voice overs but Bernie’s style is a bit like having your mate round to show you how to do something. This even goes to leaving some bloopers in which makes it human and fun.

Bernie is a hoot! He knows his material, presents it well, and is witty to boot. It’s a great combination in a teacher.

I love Bernie’s approach. Such a great instructor,

Bernie is an excellent teacher and his enthusiasm for photography is contagious.

Bernie  is a fantastic tutor,

Love it, love it, love it!
