Course description
Digital Photography & Photoshop
The aim of the course is to enable students to take better photographs with their camera so that hopefully they will not have to spend much time correcting the results in Photoshop. The emphasis is on camera practice and developing a critical aesthetic eye. This is achieved by making excursions into different photographic scenarios/locations, taking photographs, comparing results and looking into ways to make improvements. You will learn through group discussions, tutor briefing prior to the excursions and one to one tuition when photographing on location.
