UdemyAward-winning instructor and professional wedding photographer Michael Andrew developed this crash course method in 2008, refining it across thousands of student photographers. What took him two years to master through trial and error you can learn over a weekend.
The course delivers over 7 hours of streaming content—and continues adding more as photographers ask questions. You'll progress from fundamentals (exposure, shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, ISO) through advanced techniques: wildlife and sports shooting, HDR and exposure bracketing, focus stacking, multiple exposure mode, sunset shooting, and video workflows.
Beyond mechanics, you'll learn composition principles, lighting techniques, portrait shooting, and how to handle low-light situations. The course covers pro audio tips, using focus-pulling tools, gimbals and slow-motion video, and even documentary storytelling. Michael's teaching approach prioritizes simplicity and clarity—translating technical camera settings into the creative control you actually need.
