Our Creative Digital Photography Summer School is aimed at those who really want to push the limits of their photography and want to do it all in a week!
The course takes place over 5 days and has 5 field trips where we travel to interesting loactions each day. Field trips include 2 Landscapes, 1 Macro, 1 Street Photography and 1 Painting with Light session. We will then return to base where we will discuss and critique the shots taken.
The afternoons are then full of relevant instruction in all the key aspects of photography including understanding exposure, using RAW files and various Photoshop and Lightroom tutorials
5 Photography Field Trips
The 5 Field Trips are the bedrock of this course. Students will meet at a pre-defined location and will take photographs based on the instruction received that morning.
At the end of the course you will have an in-depth understanding of how the creative process works and how to put it into effect in your photos.
