Hands on Training: Using Photos to Give Direction

One of the things that many photographers find challenging is providing hands on training to apprentices and students who are looking to learn more about the art form. After all, how can you show someone what you see through the lens? How can you describe the difference between settings and shutter speeds?

Providing hands on training can be challenging for photographers who are trying to pass on what they know, but it doesn’t have to be. Those who want to be sure that others are able to learn from them will find a number of benefits when they start using printed photo books to express themselves.

When using printed photo books for hands on training, you’ll find that:

  • It’s easier to show the difference between one ISO and another
  • It’s easier to show the difference between a macro focus and an image shot at a distance
  • It’s easier to show the difference between a night shot taken using a tripod or if you’re made the choice to hold the camera

Even when the differences are far from subtle, when you are training someone on a different point of photography, it’s great to be able to provide visual examples. With printed photo books, providing that hands on training is far simpler than you may have thought that it would be.
