Mastering the principles of photography

Intermediate Photography Course – 1 day or 2 days

In these Photography Workshops we go more in depth in mastering the principles of photography.

These are either the one-day or two-days of living and breathing photography with homework and practical assignments being given within the two-day workshop.

At the end you will feel completely in control of your camera and you will learn the craft of composing your Images, rather then just taking them. Practice creatively choosing exposure, composition and design. We will also give a more in-depth introduction to image manipulation.
