Lesson 1 • Focus and Depth of Field Basics

Explains how mobile autofocus works and how to control it. Sharp focus on key interior elements is the direct outcome.

Lesson 2 • Navigating Camera App Settings

Explores native and third-party camera app controls. Students gain fluency in manual overrides that improve interior shot quality.

Lesson 3 • Understanding Your Smartphone Camera

Covers sensor size, aperture, and lens types found on modern phones. Establishes hardware literacy needed for every technique in this course.

Lesson 1 • Supplementing Light with Portable Tools

Introduces reflectors, diffusers, and small LED panels as affordable light modifiers. Students enhance ambient light without professional studio gear.

Lesson 2 • Reading Natural Light Indoors

Analyzes how window direction, time of day, and season affect interior light. Students learn to schedule shoots for optimal natural illumination.

Lesson 3 • Shooting at Different Times of Day

Compares morning, afternoon, and evening light for interior photography. Students build a shoot-time decision framework for consistent results.

Lesson 4 • Working with Artificial Lighting

Covers tungsten, fluorescent, and LED light sources common in interiors. Students correct color casts and balance mixed light sources.

Lesson 1 • Framing and Negative Space

Teaches doorways, arches, and windows as natural frames within a scene. Students use negative space to prevent visual clutter in busy rooms.

Lesson 2 • Rule of Thirds in Room Photography

Applies the rule of thirds grid to furniture, windows, and architectural features. Students place key elements on power points for stronger images.

Lesson 3 • Leading Lines and Depth

Uses architectural lines—floors, ceilings, hallways—to guide viewer attention. Students create a sense of depth that makes rooms feel larger.

Lesson 4 • Camera Height and Shooting Angle

Demonstrates how camera height changes perceived room proportions. Students select angles that flatter ceilings, floors, and furniture scale.

Lesson 1 • Perspective Correction Techniques

Applies in-app and post-processing tools to fix converging verticals. Students deliver images with straight walls and accurate proportions.

Lesson 2 • Choosing the Right Focal Length

Compares ultra-wide, standard, and telephoto lenses for different room sizes. Students select the lens that minimizes distortion for each space.

Lesson 3 • Understanding Lens Distortion on Phones

Explains barrel and wide-angle distortion caused by short focal lengths. Students recognize distortion artifacts before attempting correction.

Lesson 1 • Furniture Arrangement for Photography

Adjusts furniture placement to improve sightlines and spatial flow in the frame. Students reposition pieces to maximize perceived room size.

Lesson 2 • Decluttering and Editing the Scene

Identifies objects that distract from the room's story and removes them before shooting. Students develop a pre-shoot checklist for fast, consistent staging.

Lesson 3 • Styling Different Room Types

Applies room-specific styling strategies for kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas. Students adapt their approach to the function and mood of each space.

Lesson 4 • Props, Accessories, and Vignettes

Uses curated props to add warmth, scale, and lifestyle context to a scene. Students build styled vignettes that photograph naturally.

Lesson 1 • Wide-Room and Overview Shots

Teaches the establishing shot that captures an entire room's layout and mood. Students compose wide shots that orient viewers and showcase the full space.

Lesson 2 • Shooting Sequences and Shot Lists

Organizes a multi-angle shoot into a structured sequence for each room. Students leave every shoot with a complete, usable image set.

Lesson 3 • Detail and Vignette Shots

Focuses on close-up shots of styled surfaces, textures, and decorative details. Students create supporting images that complement wide-room shots.

Lesson 4 • Stabilization and Camera Support

Covers tripods, gorilla pods, and handheld stabilization for sharp interior shots. Students eliminate camera shake in low-light interior environments.

Lesson 1 • Tonal Adjustments for Interiors

Applies exposure, highlights, shadows, and contrast corrections to interior images. Students recover detail in windows and dark corners simultaneously.

Lesson 2 • Exporting and Delivering Final Images

Covers export settings for web, print, and client delivery from mobile apps. Students deliver correctly sized, color-profiled files for every use case.

Lesson 3 • Geometry and Perspective in Editing

Uses transform and geometry tools to straighten walls and correct distortion. Students finalize perspective corrections started during capture.

Lesson 4 • Color Correction and White Balance

Fixes color casts from mixed artificial and natural light sources in post. Students achieve neutral, accurate color that reflects the real space.

Lesson 1 • Shooting Practice Projects

Assigns real-world practice shoots across multiple room types to build portfolio content. Students apply every course skill in a single integrated project.

Lesson 2 • Presenting Work to Clients

Covers how to walk clients through a portfolio and discuss creative decisions. Students communicate their process and value with confidence.

Lesson 3 • Selecting and Curating Your Best Work

Applies editorial criteria to select images that represent skill and range. Students build a focused portfolio that avoids redundancy and weak shots.

Lesson 4 • Sequencing Images for Impact

Arranges portfolio images to create a narrative flow and visual rhythm. Students sequence work so each image strengthens the next.
