Photography Portfolio for 15 - 17 Year Olds - Nottingham Trent University

About the Course

This course is a mixture of studio and computer-based activities.

From setting up your lighting to editing your final images, this course will cover everything you need to know to become an accomplished photographer of the future.

This course is ideal for school or college students who are interested in photography or might wish to use photography as part of their studies.

Studio experience is not necessary, but an understanding of Photoshop will be useful (but not essential).

On this course you will:

- plan and execute your own portraiture, movement and still-life shoots
- receive demonstrations in lighting in a studio setting
- take photos on location
- learn how to edit your photographs using Photoshop.

What will you gain?

At the end of the course you will be able to demonstrate that you are competent in photographing and editing your work.

You will also have a set of images to enhance your portfolio.
