While black and white photographs were among the very first photographs taken, they are now frontier in digital photography. Digital cameras record light differently than film cameras and differently than the human eye. This digital black and white course is the first in a series of three courses designed to help digital photographers see, think and express in light and shadow, black and white. It will cover how the human eye and the camera record light and how to begin to express yourself in the scale of white, gray and black tones.
So you have the basics of digital photography down to a tee. Now it is time to take it a step further. Don’t be scared off by the jargon and technical mystique that is associated with digital photography. This course will show you just what is possible in the digital age whilst reminding you to think about your images as if you were shooting on film.
Advancing from snapshots to making photographs is a quantum step for photographers keen on self-expression. It requires competency with light, colour, composition and capturing that definitive sense of moment. But this is just the start!
"Walking in the shoes" of those from another culture is one thing, communicating through pictures just what that culture is "about," is another challenge still. In this course you'll learn how its best done - by a professional storyteller living just such a dream!
Making pictures with a macro lens allows you to discover the beauty, complexity, and design in things overlooked and taken for granted in our everyday lives. This course will open your eyes to the almost endless ways to explore with your camera, those objects in nature and technology that surround you and show you just how to enhance their intricacies and nuances to produce works of art - in a photograph.
Self-assignments are an excellent way to build your portfolio, gain hands-on experience and show prospective employers that - you can do it! If you've always wanted to try a self-commissioned project - or have attempted them in the past without success, this course will bring you stunningly through it and set you up for more.
