Introduction to Digital Photography

If you’re interested in learning to use the main features of a digital camera in manual mode, discover how alongside Jesús G. Pastor, a journalist and photographer who has worked for clients such as Nikon and Google, as well as international media such as The Sunday Times, Cosmopolitan, and Travel Africa Magazine, among others.

Thanks to Jesús’s examples and advice, gain fluency in handling the camera while shooting any situation. With an understanding of the basic fundamentals of photography theory, lose your fear of the multitude of options offered by current cameras to focus on the scene you want to capture.

Begin by getting to know Jesús G. Pastor’s work a little better, as well as his travels around the world (from Bosnia to Africa, and across Asia) and the artists who have most influenced his career.

Then, delve into the history of the camera, its different types, and the kinds of lenses on the market. Discover the three basic parameters of photography: ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Mastering these parameters allows you to make a massive qualitative leap in your images.

After getting to grips with the theory, practice in the street by photographing everyday moments under different lighting conditions, consolidating your knowledge and gaining fluency when using the various camera settings in manual mode.
