Learn the basics of photography!

education for the beginner photographer

You can always use the skill of photography. Even if it isn't in a professional way. You will never regret having the knowledge to capture memories that will last forever.

Do you have a camera and you don't know how to use it? I've been there. I bought my first camera 10 years ago, and had no clue what I was doing with it. I read lots of books, googled, YouTubed, and researched as much as possible.... but, I still felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I needed help putting all of the info together. 

I longed for a mentor or someone to instruct me on what I was doing wrong. Instead I just spent years of trying to figure things out on my own. It's still my biggest regret - NOT investing in education. I know if I would have invested in education, it wouldn't have taken me near as long to begin taking quality photos that I was proud of. Photos that were worthy to charge for. 

This is the course that I wish I had when I was first starting out with photography. It covers all of the basics. How to shoot in manual mode, how to edit, and basic lighting techniques. It is for the mom that wants to take better photos of her kids, or for the person that just received a camera and doesn't even know how to turn it on. It is also for the person that dreams of having their own photography business one day. This is the foundation.

Photography Basics Course

Jennie Tewell Photography Presents

Hey ya'll! I'm Jennie. I'm a wife, mother, and a photographer. I have been a photographer for the last 10 years, but have been full time in business for the last 6 years. I'm not your typical educator. I don't educate because I'm a great teacher. I educate because I have a desire to help others succeed. I'm still very much in the wedding photography business so you will get me raw as I'm still working and implementing things in my own business. 

I am a fully self taught photographer meaning that I didn't have any formal education. I learned everything by trial and error, and because of that, it took me much longer than it should have. I want to help teach you the things it took me years to figure out on my own. It isn't overly complicated, but it is when you don't have anyone showing you the ropes. Let me teach you so that you don't spend years "figuring it out".

You have no clue what the different functions do on your camera

It could be overwhelming...

You could shoot in manual mode and have perfect exposure every time

You could learn from someone that could teach you the ins and outs

...or it could be empowering!
