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

Description

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.

- receive demonstrations in lighting in a studio setting
- take photos on location
- learn how to edit your photographs using Photoshop.
