Make the exposure triangle work for you

The exposure triangle has a bit of a bad rep in the photography World. Many now think it's out-dated and doesn't really work for choosing correct manual settings - and to some extent I agree!

However, the triangle does give us a visual depiction of how we can manage manual settings and is the perfect starter tool for anyone struggling to get off auto. Once you've gained a better understanding of manual settings of course feel free to throw out the rule book (you'll be an expert in no time!) but this video series is just to get you started!


This 15 minute series of explanation and example videos will help you use the exposure triangle to master manual settings


Perfect for you if you have basic knowledge of aperture, shutter speed and ISO but need a little more guidance on how these principles work together

Hi, I'm Rachel

A photographer of 12 years that was fed up with not understanding technical terms and manual mode principles even after many years of learning!

After completing my formal education and a lot of self-learn through YouTube videos and books, I became a trainer and finally realised that I struggled for such a long time due to the the way that things were taught to me - we don't all learn the same - and I wondered how many other people were finding it difficult to understand the things that really are fundamental to photography!

So I decided to create courses that explain any confusing jargon, use visual examples and provide real-world challenges and practice tasks to help your learning.
