Course summary

You will begin the course working through a series of technical workshops designed to develop photographic skills. You will learn how to: capture images in a variety of lighting conditions, explore angles, composition concepts, depth of field and focusing techniques. You will learn Black and White darkroom skills as well as experimental photography. You will then progress to editing and learn to enhance and manipulate your images using Adobe Photoshop and manual manipulation in the darkroom and through other means, and can create pieces combined with artistic techniques, using a range of materials. In the past, students have then been able to create 3D installations and sculptures using these techniques, encouraging further creativity.
