Substance Abuse and Drugs Awareness (Level 3) Course
-
I had an entirely brilliant few month completing this course. As well as improving practical skills, it also guided me to reflect much more about subject, outcome and the finer aspects of photography. I started the course having read photo mags for a while and wanted to be able to produce images that were of a standard as published. I have finished the course with a realisation that quality images are less to do with execution and science and more with clarity of creative vision. My tutors comments were not only appropriate in marking submissions but thought-provoking; a really feel they went the extra mile here. Altogether a wonderful course that I would recommend to any aspiring photographer.
