My name is Debbie Rowe and I'm a professional, location portrait and landscape photographer with over 20 years of experience working for magazines and organisations including The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, The Times, The Discovery Channel & Empire Magazine.

I'm really excited to announce my first online photography course 'The Joys of Photography' has just arrived on Udemy.

It's 1hr 9mins and is aimed at anyone starting off in photography/photographers who want to make the leap from amateur to professional and need to get the shot every time!

This course is from the heart, I've packed it full of genuinely useful information that I use every day. It is easy to understand, inspirational and will increase your confidence and creativity whatever your style. It's also easy to revisit, so you can go back to lessons as you get more experienced.

My aim is to get you thinking like a photographer by simplifying all the essential information you need, to take photos instinctively.

The lessons include:

What a difference great light makes and how to pick the best time of day to shoot for your subject, including: The Blue Hour, Sunrise/Sunset, The Golden Hour, Midday & Grey days.

How exposure works. Why we have shutter speeds, apertures & ISO and How exposure can be used creatively.

How to visually tell a story.

What height to hold the camera and which lens to use.

How Depth of Field can transform your photography.

10 Composition techniques that will make your images look professional, whatever your photographic style, including: The rule of thirds, framing, leading lines and shooting from different viewpoints.

You'll also understand how to bring your photos to life and draw people into your images.

I believe success comes through action, practise and having the right information. This course encourages you to live your best photographic life.
