Understanding photography starts with mastering its basic elements.

• Exposure: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO work together to control how bright or dark an image looks.
• Composition: framing and balance turn a simple shot into a compelling image.
• Lighting: natural and artificial light sources each create a different feel.
• Focus: sharpness and depth of field help isolate a subject from its background.

With these basics down, more advanced techniques become approachable.

A private photography lesson in St. Marys costs approximately $25/h.

The cost depends on:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
