The Course in Detail

This short photography evening course is ideal for intermediate to advanced level students with photographic experience or ability, that own a compact or SLR digital camera. It is also aimed at those who wish to extend and develop their creative and technical knowledge by working more independently in their approach to image making through a structured programme of study. The Advanced Photography course is for anyone who would like to further develop their camera skills and creative outlook in order to take their photographic practice to a more independent and individual level when making images.

The course will cover the theory and practice of photography. The main emphasis of the course is to develop and adapt ideas creatively, whilst improving your technical understanding. It will enable you to develop an understanding of light and creative use of light in order to enhance their images. A contextual element will also aim to give direction and meaning to individuals work and will support your portfolio building.

Benefit from our large and fully equipped photography studio with industry standard equipment, digital and analogue technology, photography dark room, and suite of Apple Macs featuring latest Adobe CC software for editing and processing Gallery exhibition space
