Please bring your digital camera if you have one, and some still life objects to photograph (although as you will be working in small groups it may not be possible to photograph everything). You may also wish to bring a notebook and pen. City Lit has a range of digital SLR cameras, tripods and lenses which you are welcome to use during the hours of the class. It would be useful to bring a memory stick (or portable hard drive – please note that PC-formatted hard drives can be read by Apple Macs, but not written to) .If you would like to buy art materials for your personal...

You will be taught using a range of techniques including workshops, short lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises, group and individual assistance and hand-outs. You'll be working in small groups to set up several product photographs. Please note we will be working on Apple Mac computers in the Photography studio.
