  • Course description

    A follow on course from Develop Photography. Further your knowledge and skills in digital photography, combining an in-depth knowledge of advanced camera features and controls, with challenging practical assignments in which to consolidate your understanding and improve your image making potential.

    This dedicated project-based course is aimed at confident digital photographers who want to create challenging, informative photographs that communicate and inform to portfolio/exhibition standards. The course will offer you a combination of talks, demonstrations, technical workshops, studio and location shoots, whilst you work towards completing two practical projects (one individual and one group-based). Tutorials and ongoing course critique will offer you essential guidance and measure overall performance.

    Throughout this fast-paced, information-packed course you will gain an in-depth understanding of the creative potential modern day DSLR cameras offer – targeted at the more confident digital photographer who wishes to dedicate their learning to producing creative, well-informed, professional standard images.

    During the course, you will explore, examine and extend your awareness of:

    Students are expected to continue with their personal project based photographic assignments out of course hours, which will ultimately expand overall knowledge, heighten proficiency and offer improved image making capabilities. Submitted project based images will be assessed by course tutor and group critique on final session.

    Students attending this advanced course are expected to carry out practice-led visual research as directed by the course tutor in which to fully benefit.
