Explore the photography world and become more confident with your photos!
Photography today is firmly established as both an art form and an essential tool in communication. If you already know how to operate your camera and are comfortable with your knowledge of most of its functions, this is the course you are looking for. Learn how to put that “wow” factor into your digital photos.
This is a course for those who already know how to operate their Digital SLR camera at a basic level, and now want to take their skills to the next level.
Whether you take photos for pleasure or want a career, Christine will teach you to get your camera off autopilot and get the most out of your Digital SLR. A quick grounding in the basics and legal issues is followed by practical use of your camera in a day shoot with a special subject, and a night shoot in her own secret Gold Coast location.
You will receive homework every week followed by plenty of discussion about your own photos. Expect a creative and inspiring work environment that is very hands-on.
Learn how to use every feature on your DSLR including lenses, shutters, aperture, ISO and their relationships. Discover creative depth of field, composition, tips and techniques, lighting and presentation.
Please note: During this course there will be up to two lessons scheduled off-campus “on location shoots” which may be on weekends (a daytime shoot and also a night shoot), locations are on the Gold Coast. These shoots substitute on-campus time and are weather permitting. This will be discussed in your first class to give students plenty of notice.
This short course is non-accredited therefore is not registered with the National Training Register.
