Photography Made Simple: Mastering Techniques and Settings
Photography Made Simple: Mastering Techniques and Settings through practical guides, creative ideas and real-world experience. Start with the fundamentals or explore the areas of photography you want to develop next.
START LEARNING ↓
Understand the camera.
Concentrate on the photograph.
Photography becomes far more enjoyable when the technical side stops getting in the way. Monty Photo Studios brings together practical guides covering camera settings, composition, lighting, creative techniques and editing.
These guides are based on personal experience, practical photography and continued learning rather than being written from the perspective of a certified professional photographer. The aim is simple: explain photography in a way that makes sense and helps you get out with your camera and use it.
Build your photography skills.
Start with the fundamentals or explore the areas of photography you want to develop next.
Master Your Camera
Understand the settings that control every photograph and learn how to make confident decisions behind the camera.
Build Better Compositions
Learn how framing, perspective, depth and visual structure can transform an ordinary photograph.
Work With Light
Discover how natural and artificial light influence atmosphere, exposure and the way a photograph feels.
Explore Photography
Put the fundamentals into practice and explore different subjects, techniques and creative approaches.
The camera is only the beginning.
ISO, aperture and shutter speed matter, but photography is ultimately about recognising a moment and deciding how you want to show it.
Technical knowledge gives you control. Composition gives the photograph structure. Light gives it atmosphere. Your own judgement is what brings everything together.
