Course Details
After focusing on the fundamentals of digital photography, now it is time to improve and broaden your photography skills by refining your shooting style and expanding on it using elements of design. Each session, we will review a different approach in photography, with the aim of challenging the students to empower their understanding of visual aesthetics. You will learn why it is essential to add and subtract from the scene, how to evaluate the shot deliberately in order to obtain a complex composition and more importantly, how to fill up the frame with a distinguishable narrative. Utilizing cameras’ shutter speed creatively to generate unusual and impactful photographs, is also covered in this course. Students will have the opportunity of exploring Street, Documentary, Cityscape, Narrative andLong Exposure Photography; while relying on their own judgement to turn mundane situations to extraordinary moments.
