Photography

Entry Requirements: you will need a digital camera with manual exposure settings (such as P, A, S, M modes), that can photograph in RAW file format. No prior experience in photography is required to take this course.

This 10-week course teaches you how to take control of your (digital) camera, and how to combine the technical with the creative. During the course we’ll discuss the fundamentals of photography, such as exposure time and depth of field, but will also discuss flash and digital post-processing briefly.

We will combine photographic principles with inspiring examples of famous photographers, to guide you into the world of photography. The course includes weekly photographic assignments that will require some time outside class to complete. These assignments will be discussed collectively.

Please note: There is one class scheduled on a weekend day. The teacher will coordinate this during the first class.
