Live Video Tutorials in Photography
Start a new hobby or take your current photography to a whole new level while you’re Social Distancing.
While we are all currently going through a new kind of global anxiety, there are still some positives to remember. We now have more time with our children and loved ones, more time to read, clean the home or enjoy a moment to ourselves. In these times, many of us are also finding time to take up that hobby we always wanted to persue, photography.
But what is the best way to learn this new pass-time from home when it’s so hands-on? Surely this has to be done with a personal, face to face style of tuition, and is something that can’t be easily done on the internet? This is a challenge taken by the nice folk at Rhubarb & Custard, a photography studio and teaching academy based in Eton, UK. To satisfy a whole new demand for learning photography, and to overcome the existing impractical and inefficient ways of learning, they have launched a far superior way for you to learn – Live Video Tutorials!
What is a Live Video Photography Tutorial?
Instead of visiting a physical place, you can tune into a pre-booked face-to-face photography tutorial from any device with an internet connection. Participate on your desktop or laptop computer, tablet or even smartphone at home.
In other words, its as close to a real private photography lesson or workshop as you can get — minus the bad coffee, rubbish commute, and room crammed full of strangers.
With plenty of practical assignments and on-screen instructions with informative graphics and illustrations, the online classes packed full of essential instruction that will help you get more our of your camera, and take better photos from the moment you “log off”!!
Free Taster Sessions
As with anything in life, its always best to try before you buy, so Rhubarb & Custard have a number of free 20 minute ‘taster’ sessions that you can book onto via their website. Its a great way of trying out the technology, meeting the team, and discuss the best level of tutoring you’ll need.
The benefits of Live Video Photography Tutorials:
Let’s start from a simple fact that it is a completely personalised approach to teaching where you are spoken to directly and establish a real dialog, instead of a static one-way delivery of information which most other online photography courses rely on. This means that you’re fully engaged, fully motivated, and fully trained! You can see the tutor, and the tutor can see you.
The biggest benefit to Live video tutorials belongs to you, the ‘student’. That’s because the content is explained in a much, much more intimate way than could ever be achieved in other kinds of presentations, and is why you’re able to learn faster and deeper, while maintaining the highest level of attention at all times. Out go the dull, dry and lifeless pre-recorded videos and presentations that are used in conventional online courses – and in come engaging, participational and highly practical learning!
Another very important consideration is the psychological benefit of Live Video over lesser, pre-recorded delivery alternatives. In this brave new world of Social Distancing we are all going to be suffering from a hugely reduced amount of personal contact, particularly for anyone in Self-isolation due to an infection or living alone. With live video, you have the massive benefit of interaction and conversation while keeping your physical distance and keeping yourself and others safe. As with any natural situation, there is bound to be an element of general chit chat, while you and your tutor get to know each other. And that then goes much further if you decide to go for a regular tutorial, getting to know you tutor better and better.
Having the sessions booked in at a specific time and date also gives purpose, meaning and structure to your day with something concrete to look forward to. Alternative online courses that require high levels of self-motivation are all very well at the start, but they are all too often put aside like a gym membership when your motivation starts to dwindle. So although the live tutorials may be a little more expensive, the value you get out of them is bound to be far greater.
