Find Your Unique Photography Style (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,
Find Your Unique Photography Style (Skillshare)

Do you look at other photographer's portfolios or Instagram and wonder 'why do their photos look so good?' Do you wonder why your own photos don't look as professional? Do you wish you had your own photography style?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the perfect course for you.
What separates beginner photographers from advanced 'professional' photographers is the development of a unique style. While some of this happens naturally as you practice your photography, you can dramatically improve your photography with the step-by-step process laid out in this course.
First, you'll learn exactly what creates a photography style - analyzing how subject matter, composition, lighting & color, and editing all play a role in creating a unique style.
Then, you'll implement a 3-step strategy to improve your own style. This is a conscious process that you'll practice and see implemented right in this course.
I promise that if you put into practice the simple techniques from this course, your portfolio or Instagram account will start to look more cohesive - giving you your own unique photography style in no time.
Project Steps:

  1. Download the resource folder.
  2. Unzip the folder. It will contain two sub-folders. One for the main course project, and one with photos to practice editing.
  3. Watch the 'activity' lessons.
  4. Organize the photos into 4 style groups of 9 photos.
  5. Take a screenshot of your groups and upload to the course.

There are 42 total photos. So you'll have a few extras that don't need to be grouped.
