Photography | Term Four, 2023

During the first part of the term we explore how to get better shots without worrying too much about settings and terminology. We'll look at getting a feel for light and subject plus more confidence handling your camera, whether it's a DSLR or a mobile phone. Terminology and theory comes later.
We'll cover mobile photography and photographing your art, including jewellery, sculpture and paintings.
A more advanced photography focus later in the term takes it up a level and includes an introduction to basic professional, and essential client work requirements.
We have a small studio with lighting equipment and a fully equipped darkroom for developing black and white negatives and printing.
Suitable for all levels.
