You definitely do! Photography is art. And like any other art, your photographs are an expression of your heart and soul. In digital photography, the camera and computer are tools for creative expression the same way paints and brushes are tools for painters. Learning the tools alone does not help you FIND YOUR EYE and express your heart and soul; that is only the starting point. In order to develop a unique photographic style of your own, you have to dive deeper into experiencing the environment around you and learn to understand what calls to you.

Prerequisite Experience
To get the most of out these courses, the participant should come with six to twelve months of photography experience and be creating images that they love, at least on an occasional basis. While there is no minimum experience or equipment requirement for this course, this is not a technical course and a minimum level of technical photography knowledge is assumed. The participant should have basic technical knowledge of operating their camera (understanding exposure, shutter speed, aperture, etc.) and editing photos. (Please download the free Digital Photography Basics eBook if you are in need of this minimum technical knowledge.)
