Creative Photography - Portraiture
This course is focused on the making of photographic portraits. You can choose to take self-portraits or photograph someone you are living with.
Chris, a professional photographer will share basic photography skills and tips regardless of your camera equipment – from professional Digital SLR to smartphone.
We will discuss what makes an engaging portrait, the use of background, natural lighting and direction. The course’s main objective is to leave you with a technical knowhow that you may apply within your own practice.
This course is structured in two parts. In week one, you will take part in a one-hour online class. In weeks two and three, you will participate in a twenty minute, one-to-one online session with your tutor to help you develop and progress with your photography skills.
