What previous students liked most about this course:
“ Excellent. I learned lots of things about use of colour, texture, form and how to look better to make more interesting pictures.”
“Expertise of tutor (Armelle). Well planned sessions. Content delivered appropriately.”
“I likes the conceptual flavour given to learning photographic technique.”
“Attention to the detail of composition and all its elements - often glossed over in other courses.”
“Armelle is great - would definitely enrol on a course with her again. She was easy to understand and her love of photography and art is catching. Thanks.”
