1. know your camera well. Every camera comes with bells and whistles that can help you in getting a good picture. So read the camera Manual twice and try out all the options. 2. Learn the Exposure Triangle. Master it. This will give you the idea how you can combine them to get good results. 3. Every subject looks very good in one angle. So move around the subject, try all different angles. 4. Patience is a must. Be clam, wait for the right moments and click. A picture is a moment captured that tells the story. 5. Learn all the rules and break them so you improvise. This will make you different from others. All these are generic, if you can specify what is the type of photography that you do and what is that you want will help everyone in this forum to answer your question. :)

Hi Everyone. Just wanted to know that How you guys usually charge your students? Is it by "Per Hour" or "per Month" or for "Entire Course"? And if its is by "per Month" or for "Entire Course" basis, then How many classes do you take in a week?

Charging is better when you do for an entire course. Give them the topics that you will be covering and how many days for the course and how many hours in a day (theory + practical) . You should think like a student and break down the topics that you are going to cover in a day so that is easy on them. End result they understand. Too much in a day can be over kill. The above scenario is for students who have time and ready to learn photography but in some cases you will get students (working people) who have limited time to learn. In that case, you have to be flexible to meet their needs and same goes to them.

Photography is an art and it can be done with any camera. People use mobile phones and get some great pictures. Its never the camera, its always the person behind the camera. If you have a camera that has manual control then it gives you more options to play with. I hope this answers your question. Feel free to get back to me.

Hello Anu, There are so many who teach photography but what I would suggest is to try learning by yourself. First, read your camera manual and understand what your camera can do then google for photography tutorials and you will find so many articles. This should get you started and practice as much you can. Initially, you may not be happy with the results but just keep doing it until things work out. If you feel you need someone to help you then look for public groups into photography , friends who are into photography. If none of these helps, then you can join a formal course. :) Happy Clicking.
