Are you eager to sharpen your technical skills to take stunning photographs every time? Over this 8-week programme, students will be introduced to the functions of their digital camera and learn how to use a DSLR to take superb images using the correct settings.
Each week a new technique will be explored allowing students to develop skills in exposure control, composition, creativity, and photo editing software (Adobe Lightroom). This will enable students to take confident images and build a portfolio of work documenting their progress.
You will be taught by an industry expert with a wealth of photography and teaching experience, who will provide high quality instruction in a warm and friendly atmosphere. At the end of each session students are set a practical homework task based on the week's topic, to help you practice your skills independently. The resultant images are reviewed by the group the following week, with the opportunity to receive constructive feedback.

In order to prepare for the course, have a think about an idea for a photography project you would like to create. You could have a site-specific project such as your home or garden or theme related (colour, texture, shapes). Perhaps you walk regularly and want to document the picturesque landscapes you see. It can be anything you like, but make sure you keep it simple and make sure it is something easily accessible to you. If you would like to contact the tutor in advance please contact us.
