Guide to learning Photography for free

By

If you are interested in learning Photography for free, then this guide is for you. first of all, to tell you that although the bellow Courses are free now, they are not just beginner stuff. Some are more than professional stuff. Some of them are given free sometime after selling them for money, this includes university courses also, while i was studying them if was wandering how I am lucky to have them free. so first of all, don't underestimate them for being free.

I will give them in order that I thinks that would be good to studying.

1

First of all, to start with it is better to start with a 2-hour photography course done by a Australian Geographic Photographer, Chris bray. before 2016 he has done this course for $480 for 7 years all around Australia. 

hear you can find his YouTube playlist, also if you go through his channel, you can find a full combined video of this course.

Here is his website for more stuff.

Next with the overall knowledge you get from the above course better to do some reading.

The author is a professional adventure photographer. He is specialize in capturing action and lifestyle imagery, especially those revolving around mountain sports such as alpine climbing, freeride skiing, paragliding, trail running and BASE jumping.

All 30 lessons are constantly accessible, and you go through them at your own pace. There are also assignments with most lessons. (Copied the description from his site, But I read all of these 30 lessons, those are great.)

With the above basic knowledge i think you can follow any Couse below according to your interest, but i still try to give in order.

This YouTube video from Tony and Chelsia may be your third course.

Beginning Photography Fundamentals: Composition, Lighting & Camera Settings - YouTube

This is a 7-hour training. Those are great stuff. but for my suggestion from above courses, you have got the fundamentals of photography, so keep this video for a leisure time watching activity for remembering them and get to know how to work with cameras and get to know some experiences of those photographers who are doing this video and follow the below courses in order.

Next before going to some advanced stuff, thought of giving you some artistic things, the psycological things in photography, 

Visual Pattern series by Pat Kay.

Definitely go through these videos. It is just 10 videos but very much cost effective.

5

Next Let's learn some flash Photography, of if you are not yet interested Jump to 7.

This is a great youtube Couurse done by Ed Verosky

and also, I suggest one of his good video Flash Photography for Portraits Crash Course 2022

If you are more interested in Flash Photography and want to dive deep Read this Blog post series at Strobist. I suggest definitely do that.

Next Let's go with some advanced stuff.  There are two courses, one is done at Harvard University by Dan Armendariz. for my experience this course is easy to follow but not much advanced than the other course done by Mark Levoy who was a Stanford university mentor. I still didn't understand those things in Mark's Course, (Better if you good at mathematics) But that is a greatest Couse you can follow if you are interested in learning Photography deep. You can also download the PDFs and Videos from the course schedule. If you are willing to follow this course, I suggest first watch the Harvard University Photography Course and then next Mark's one.
