Photography basics study guide: one topic like exposure or composition, with worked examples and tasks

Example result

Example for the Standard package

Study guide: solving linear equations, for students aged 13–14

The one rule

An equation is a balance. Whatever you do to one side, you do to the other, and the balance stays level. The goal is to get x alone on one side.

Worked example 3: the unknown on both sides

Solve 5x − 4 = 2x + 11.

  1. Move the x terms to one side: take 2x from both sides. 5x − 2x − 4 = 11, so 3x − 4 = 11.
  2. Move the numbers to the other side: add 4 to both sides. 3x = 15.
  3. Divide both sides by 3. x = 5.
  4. Check: 5 × 5 − 4 = 21 and 2 × 5 + 11 = 21. Both sides match.

Common mistake

In 3(x + 2) = 18, many students write 3x + 2 = 18. The 3 multiplies everything in the brackets: 3x + 6 = 18, so x = 4.

Exercises 7–10

  1. 4x + 3 = x + 18
  2. 2(x − 5) = 14
  3. 7 − x = 3x − 9
  4. 3(2x + 1) = 4x + 15

Answers: 7. x = 5 · 8. x = 12 · 9. x = 4 · 10. x = 6

Files: PDF and Word. The guide is for learning: we do not do homework or tests to be handed in.

Client: a parent whose daughter gets lost when an equation has brackets or the unknown on both sides. Task: a guide at middle school level that starts from the basics and builds up to those two cases. Standard package: up to 8 pages, 6 worked examples, 20 exercises with answers and a summary sheet. Excerpt below.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

Many beginners leave the camera on Auto because aperture, shutter speed and ISO feel like one tangled knot. This guide takes one topic at your level, such as the exposure triangle, focus and depth of field, light, composition or white balance, and explains it in plain words: what each setting does, what you give up when you change it and when to use it. Worked examples go through a shooting situation step by step, for example a portrait by a window or a child on the move, and say which settings to choose and why. The exercises are short shooting tasks and questions with answers. Tell us the topic, your camera type and what goes wrong. You get PDF and Word files; Premium adds a test and an answer key. The guide is text with no sample photos, and we don't review or edit your pictures or do course assignments.

What is included

  • What you getA PDF and Word guide on one photography topic: the settings and ideas in plain words, shooting situations worked through step by step, common mistakes, short shooting tasks and questions with answers. From Standard, also a one-page sheet of settings and rules; in Premium, a self-check test of 20 questions and a separate answer key with short explanations.
  • Settings explainedAperture, shutter speed and ISO, and what each one trades
  • Shooting situationsPortraits, motion, low light and landscapes worked through
  • Composition and lightWhere to place the subject and how light changes a photo
  • Practice tasksShort shoots with what to look for in the result
  • Any cameraA phone, a compact, a mirrorless or a DSLR camera

What we need from you

The photography topic (for example, manual mode, depth of field, night shots or portrait lighting), the camera type (phone, compact, mirrorless or DSLR) and the lenses you have, what you like to shoot, what goes wrong now (blurry, too dark, flat colours), the learner's level, the language and how the guide will be used. You may attach a course outline or notes as Word or PDF files, up to 3. We don't review or edit photos.

We will ask you:

  • Which photography topic?
  • Which camera and lenses?
  • What do you shoot, and what goes wrong?
  • Level and language

Questions and answers

Does it work for phone photography?

Yes. Name your camera type in the brief; for a phone we focus on light, composition, focus and the manual settings phones usually offer.

Are sample photos included?

No. The guide is text that describes each situation and setting. Try each task with your own camera as you read.

Will you review or edit my photos?

No. The guide gives you points to check your own shots against; we don't review, retouch or grade photos.

Can you do my photography course assignment?

No. The guide is for learning; we don't do assignments to be handed in as the learner's own work.
