This is a project
based course that explores the composition and content of
photographs. Participants should be familiar with the basics
of photography and with their cameras functions. By the end
of the course participants will have developed an initial
idea towards completion and will have honed their technical
ability. The course contains a mix of theory, appreciation
and practical content.
