Class Information
Meet Your Instructor
For more than a decade, I've helped people tell their stories through photography. As the owner of Terrance Antonio Productions, I've photographed weddings, portraits, events, and real-world moments in constantly changing lighting conditions.
One thing I've learned is that great photography isn't about having the most expensive camera—it's about understanding light.
That's why I created Exposure 101. This class is designed to simplify photography, eliminate the confusion around camera settings, and help you confidently understand aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and exposure. Whether you're a beginner or someone who's been shooting on Auto for years, my goal is for you to leave with practical skills you can use immediately.
You'll learn through hands-on demonstrations, real-world shooting scenarios, and guided exercises designed to help you finally understand your camera—not just memorize settings.
