Pathways from this course could include further formal study in Photography, opportunities to use the new skills and knowledge in community situations and opportunity to establish a small home-based photography business.

COURSE CONTENT:

Our Creative Photography course will help you to understand and demonstrate the use of appropriate lighting and flash use, as well as the appropriate use of filters and the aesthetics of composing & framing, all to augment the production of quality photography.

Starting from the very basics of setting up your camera, shooting in automatic mode, using the flash, this course will then build on your skills and take you through the manual settings on your camera, patterns and repetition, rule of thirds, filling the frame, leading lines, self-portraiture, planned shoots and editing terminology and editing programs.

The course also covers developing a simple business plan to establish a home-based photography business if your passion for photography is more than just a hobby.

Our smaller class sizes for this course provide a very supportive environment to learn in and gain valuable verbal feedback from your peers and our trainer to refine your photography skills.

Students will build a portfolio of photographs over the 7-week period which they will share with their trainer and peers each class.
