About the Basic Photography Course…

Ideal for beginners or amateur photographers who are keen to  learn how to use their digital cameras  effectively, as well as all basic aspects of photography. This part-time photography course will enable you to make informed decisions when taking photos. You will  no longer rely on the camera (dummy settings) only to make all creative decisions for you. We keep the classes small and follow a hands-on approach. Theories are supported with visual illustrations and we will share personal experience  and practical photography tips. You will also take part in three practical shoots under the guidance of a professional photographer! An exclusive online network has been created where students can upload their photos for evaluation and constructive critique. The course concludes with practical advice on how to build and manage your own photo library and portfolio. The course is presented in 9 sessions over 6-7 weeks after hours, to ensure that working people can take part in the course.
