About the course

The Advanced Creative Photography course is designed to help students take their knowledge and photographs to the next level. The course allows students to gain hands on and technical experience using advanced camera functions and photoshop / editing software. Prior experience using the software is not necessary, however students should have a good knowledge of their camera’s priority modes, and a basic understanding of ISO and white balance to benefit from this course.

We will explore a range of photographic genres and techniques including panning, silhouettes, landscape/architecture, portraiture and macro.
