Welcome to photography one on one My name is pi editor in chief for SLR lounge calm and I'm Michelle Ford, senior editor for SLR lounge. Now in this video we want to talk about the overall workshop format for photography one on one as well as photography two, one and 301. Now photography one one really focuses on mastering the basics of your camera. And more importantly, we want you in addition to just mastering manual mode and how to expose and how to use your camera, we want you to understand how to approach a scene how to light compose and create amazing images, regardless of the camera and the gear that you're using. In fact, for the entire workshop, we use basically our basic rebel right here with a kit lenses and basic prime lenses as well as our Nikon D 3200. And it's basic kit lenses and basic primes.

These are the most basic DSLRs yet, we're going to be showing you how to create incredible professional imagery out of them. Now we realize that everyone is in a different place in their photographic journey. And that's why we have a custom player, we have a full menu system so you guys can kind of skip around. And really just jump to the subjects that might most interest them at the time. But watching it in its entirety is actually a really good idea. Master the foundation all the way from start to finish, and you can always go back to the topics you need to cover again, absolutely.

And on top of that watching each video in its entirety is going to help everyone out because regardless of how simple the subject that we're teaching, in every video, we're still going through, we're setting up our scene, choosing our compositions, setting up our lighting, our posing and so forth to get the shot. So there's still a lot to be learned beyond a specific function that we might be teaching as well. And don't forget to do the assignments. I really would recommend that you stop review the topics really master it before you move on. Also, you're going to see us from time and time will be showing up in little quick tips to give you guys additional information and insight into each Other topics that we're covering, so be on the lookout for those. So be on the lookout, right?

Why don't we just show you exactly what one of these quick tips looks like to start with? This is your first one. So throughout this workshop, you'll see us showing you images that we're capturing from the camera, the images will be labeled, and we'll show the EXIF data showing the cameras exposure settings, that's EAX. If, if an image is marked with s OC, that means it's an image being shown straight out of the camera, no additional processing. Now if the image is marked LR process raw, that means we've taken the original RAW file, we took it into Lightroom, completed the post processing and then arrived at the final image. Now from time to time, you'll see a little for more info just like that pop up at the bottom of the screen.

Those mean that we've hit a subject that we're referencing, and we're going to discuss it in more detail later in the course. So that's it for our first quick tip. Let's head Back to the video. ready to move on. I am so ready let's go to the next video
