Introduction:

Capture the world through a lens on this exciting and immersive photography course.

Unlock your creative potential; from learning camera techniques to editing and printing your final images, you’ll cover everything you need to know to become an accomplished photographer of the future.

You’ll learn the art of DSLR photography for those crisp, high-definition shots, and discover the charm of analogue photography and film.

What You'll Study:

From framing and composition to experimenting with lighting and colour, this course allows your unique perspective to shine as you explore various photography styles.

In a world dominated by visual storytelling, the ability to capture and convey moments through photography is a valuable skill.

Whether you're considering a career in the arts, media, or just want a chance to explore a form of self-expression, this course will equip you with the tools to make engaging images.

During this course, you will:

explore the city through photography using digital and analogue cameras
elevate your images to the next level and learn to tell a story through your photos
learn how to edit your photographs using Photoshop
unleash your creativity in a supportive environment
make a short zine of your work.
So, grab your camera and join us on a journey into the vibrant world of visual storytelling that's all about exploring the exciting possibilities that photography holds.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to demonstrate that you’re competent in photography and editing your work.

You’ll also have a set of images and photo zine to enhance your portfolio.
