Apart from videos, there are also articles exploring how to achieve a good exposure indoors while utilizing a hotshoe flash on TTL mode.
Topics covered in this course:
the 7 main principles that govern the Art of Seeing: Brightness, Colors, Simplicity, Closer, Up, Sharpness & Orientation
In Lesson 1 & 2, you will learn that beautiful photos follow specific rules and shooting beautiful pictures are easy if these rules are followed.
In Lesson 3, you will understand the Rule Of Simplicity, which holds the sub-rules of Space, Rule of Thirds & Golden Points, the corresponding Golden Points Numbers.
In Lesson 4, you will learn that viewers love to see photos where subjects are Bigger and Closer, hence the introduction to the Rules Of Closer, which has many important technical points for you to master.

In Lesson 6, you will learn the Rule Of Geometry, which consists of sub-rules of Cube, Odds & Triangles, and how to apply these rules in your daily photo-shoots.
In Lesson 7, we will cover the Rule of Pattens, which is made up of the sub-rules of Repetitive Patterns, Perspective, C-Curves, S-Curves, and Starburst. You will witness how professional photographers specifically choose to employ these rules in certain situations.

What makes a photo stand out? Why some photos could tell a story at a glance?
The main idea is to have your users NOTICE the photo you shoot and perceive it as nice as soon as she sees it. This may not even require your viewer to logically think about why your photo is nice. The faster it is perceives as nice, the better your photo shoot is.
In this video we would explore the 7 Basic Principles that governs Art of Seeing:
Brightness - Photography is all about capturing light, and the brightness of any image conveys the mood of your picture.
Colors - Humans have one of the best color perception in the animal kingdom, so why not make use of colors?
Sharpness - Nobody likes a blurry photo.
Orientation - Learn the science behind why a certain orientation is preferable.
UP - Learn why shooting upwards leaves a strong impact on viewers.
Closer - Discover why shooting closer often results in a better photo.
Simplicity - Take a look at the differences between a simple and a complicated photo.
Everyone likes simplicity in their lives, and its the same with photos.
Here are some examples of how to simplify your photos and make them look more appealing.

Find it dreadful to shoot in boring locations?
Every photographer does.
One of the best ways: Shoot Closer.
By shooting closer, you eliminate backgrounds, and by doing that, you simplify your photos. Here are some examples of how shooting closer can make your composition nicer.
Tell a story with a simple compositional rule.
This lesson explores how we interpret a photo by following the rule of live and dead spaces.
In this video, we take a look at odds as a compositional rule.
We also explore how to make use of geometries by including Triangles into your shots.
Additionally, we learn how to use the CUBE, a technique which imparts new angles to a single pose.
Patterns is a rule that helps add dimensions to your photo, for example: Repeating patterns impart a sense of depth.
Want to shoot a stunning landscape photo? Lookout for the "C" and "S" curves.
Find yourself in a crowded location? Use the Starburst effect to your advantage.
In this video we explore 3 rules that expand upon the dynamics of a photo:
Contrast in Layering - Make your photos seem sharper by blurring the background
Contrast in Motion - Add a sense of movement by keeping your subjects sharp against a moving background
Contrast in Focusing - Tell a different story just by adjusting your focus point.
