• Confidently switch between Auto, Aperture‑Priority, Shutter‑Priority, and Manual modes.

1. Control Exposure Like a Pro

• Explain the relationship between ISO, shutter speed, and aperture.
• Apply the Exposure Triangle to achieve properly exposed images in varied lighting conditions.

1. Compose Visually Engaging Photographs

• Employ fundamental compositional techniques (rule of thirds, leading lines, framing, symmetry).
• Identify and correct common framing and alignment errors in real time.

1. Harness Light to Enhance Mood

• Recognize and manipulate natural and artificial light sources.
• Utilize basic fill-flash and reflector techniques to balance shadows and highlights.

1. Develop a Personal Photographic Vision

• Articulate a clear visual story or message for each shoot.
• Experiment with creative strategies (perspective, depth of field, motion blur) to convey mood and intent.

1. Execute Practical Workflow & Post‑Processing

• Organize and manage digital files efficiently.
• Perform essential editing tasks (exposure adjustment, cropping, color correction) in beginner‑friendly software.

1. Produce a Cohesive Portfolio Piece

• Plan and shoot a mini‑project that applies learnt skills.
• Critique peers’ work constructively and incorporate feedback into final edits.

These objectives ensure that every participant graduates with the technical know‑how, creative insight, and practical workflow to continue building their photography skills beyond the classroom.
