Fundamentals of Photography
John Greengo
take amazing outdoor shots.
Getting a great outdoors shot requires a sophisticated understanding of lighting. Both beginning photographers and seasoned professionals must overcome the same challenges when addressing glare, shadows and full or partial sun. This course is your introduction to the skills you need to shoot successfully in any outdoors situation.
This course is broken into short, practical segments so you can easily review the applicable tips and tactics when you need them. You’ll learn about working with single and multiple flashes, reflectors, and speedlights. Lindsay Adler also shares the best times to opt for studio gear and guides you through ways to incorporate it in your outdoor workflow. You’ll gain a complete understanding of the tools and techniques you can use to meet your location lighting goals.
By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to conquer any outdoor lighting situation whether you’re working with a $30 flash or a complete on location studio.
Comprehensive, well thought out and organized. I have heard the basics before, but not to this depth. Lindsay definitely knows her stuff! And there was enough reinforcement without overdone repetition to drill in the material. I feel much more confident with the topic and feel like I could handle some problem-solving on location. Now I just need to get out there and practice!
Very detailed course. Lindsay was able to articulate natural light extremely well which we should learn before we using Strobe's in my opinion. Learning how to manipulate natural light is key. The video on strobes is awesome as well. Some are natural light photographers because they don't know how and when to use strobes. This is a master course for all to view. Great job!
The host needs to stop interrupting Lindsay. SMH. It's like he's guiding Lindsay on what to teach. LET HER DO HER THING!
Lindsay is THE BEST instructor - she explains everything so well!
Informative, easy to understand (breaking down a usually complicated process), and entertaining.
This was a truly awesome class, from start to finish. Lindsay did an amazing job of teaching the material, covering every detail that you need to know. She has tremendous expertise and is an excellent teacher, never dull or boring to watch. I can't speak highly enough of this course. Thanks so much Linsday!
Sheesh, don't miss Lesson #21. All of this class was great, but that lesson was amazing (Av vs Tv vs ISO vs Flash Power's effects on the final image - what to tinker with to change the light on your subject or background).
Lindsay's course is amazing! Highly recommended!!!
Great course as always with Lindsay Adler, you can't go wrong. She teaches from the ground up, very clear.

Usually don't review anything, but this was definitely one of the best photography classes I have taken. Don't hesitate to get it!
Spectacular lessons, an absolutely incredible amount of information on location lighting and expertly explained. Lindsay Adler has mastered that perfect teaching method of delivering high level instruction in an accessible way that both beginners and intermediates can understand.
Lindsay, this class is so amazing. I've only watched the first few lessons so far and I've already learned so much! Thank you!
Awesome, highly recommended.
Lindsey is one of the best photography instructors today, period. This course is well prepared, and presented in an orderly progression, with each section clearly explained. Frequent location videos are included, in which each step of Lindsey's thought process is explained. It's evident that Lindsey truly "knows photography." She's a storehouse of information, yet she never overcomplicates things. There's no time-wasting rambling, only tons of excellent information. Have a pen and notebook. There's a lot here, including hundreds of tidbits along the way. Thanks for the great job, Lindsey. Worth every penny!
Amazing class! Very informative ... I've learned so much about lighting and exposure both on the technical, practical side and the artistic side. Very well presented and so easy to understand even for absolutely fresh beginners. Enjoyed every minute of this course and definitely recommend it to everyone who's wishing to take his photography skills to the next level, while very much enjoying along the way. Thanks Lindsey for such a warm and friendly welcome to the world of light!
Must have for anyone who is serious about their photography. Lindsay is an amazing teacher and knows how to get her point across fast and easy. I learned so many tricks and often rewatch some of the chapters before I go on locations.
Love all Linsday's class . She's explain all the detail and easy to understand.
So much USEFUL information! Love her lessons, the are to the point and the information is delivered in such an understandable way. Great course
I'm just getting into outdoor portrait photography and i bought a speedlight not really knowing how to use it effectively. Watching Lindsay really helped me learn what to do and how to use light to my advantage. She covers all the lighting possibilities and situations. She emphasizes that you don't need to spend insane amounts of money to light your subject beautifully.
Outstanding Course!! The Best I have taken thus far! A solid basic foundation of Light, mixed with Lindsay's well articulated practical experience! Thank you Lindsay! Hope to see more of your courses!
Lindsay is an excellent teacher and has a wonderful body of work. She passes on so much information, so many hints and practical advice that you need to re-watch and re-watch the course again. You need months if not even years to try and put everything into practice. She pinpoints many things which one might already be aware of unconsciously but actually she helps to conceptualise them so that you can use these tools intentionally.
Lindsay doesn't answer questions that are asked
Lindsay provided tremendous problem solving processes!
I wish I'd bought this when it was on sale! Hopefully it will be offered again! I had to watch little segments while at work!
