AG Studios Basic Photography Skills Course – Level 2

The Level 2 Photography Course has been designed as a natural follow-up to our Level 1 course, which we recommended 1 month after completion. Most people not only use this course as a refresher, but also embrace this courses ability to go into more detail about the technology and provide additional practise to help further your techniques.

Level 2 Photography also covers how adding lights / flash / available light will enhance your photo imagery and explain how they all work together to achieve the most stunning results. We also include a brief tutorial covering photo editing software which can enhance your images further.

In order to help you progress as a photographer, during the course you are set a challenge to supply us with an image, as per a brief we will give you. Your image is then judged, providing you with feedback on the image’s merits or if required some constructive pointers to help you further improve.
