Basic & Advanced Combo Pack (Code: EC111532)

Price:$317

This course is designed for beginning to advanced photographers who use, or want to use, DSLR cameras to take gorgeous photographs. With this course, anyone can take professional photographs regardless of prior experience without getting a degree, without wading through a tedious 400 page photography book, and without spending months searching the internet for resources. You'll learn everything you need to know about taking professional digital photographs using DSLR cameras including how to use your camera, flash, exposure, nature photography, night photography, and much more. You'll even learn to create photos using the secrets of the Greek masters who used to create the world's most treasured art!

There are two digital photography courses in this package, and they can be sold separately or as a package. The first course is for absolute beginners and the second covers more advanced topics.

These courses can easily be white labeled, but still have the added advantage of having an instructor that is the “face” of the course. No references to the course being sold elsewhere or any other business relationships are in the course.
