This course is an ideal follow-up to our 'Beginner's photograph course, or for anyone with a basic technical grounding. As well as revising and refreshing existing knowledge, you will learn new, slightly more advanced skills - from exposure use to selecting the right lens - and practise how to apply them across different themes and styles of photography.
What previous students have said about the course:
“Pleasant atmosphere, stimulating content.”
