Fashion Photography Short Course
Course description
In our new digital age, fashion photographers cross the landscape of traditional print media, and the digital world of web, social and moving image. This course aims to work with students of all levels to develop strong skills in the execution of successful and original photo shoots, developing and fine tuning skills in building a shoot, directing models, working with natural and studio lighting, and pitching their work to clients.
This course would be well suited to both new and established photographers, fashion stylists looking to develop their skills with a camera, adults seeking a career change into the creative arts and established creative professionals looking to expand their horizons with photography skills..
Classes take various forms through the course, with hands on tutorials, presentations, learning labs, critiques, and homework assignments - alongside shoot sessions working with established models, stylists and makeup artists. This is a fast paced, exciting course, taught in easy to understand English with difficult terms being further explained.
Students will walk away from the course with new work for their portfolios and social media, and new skills for self development and critique.

- The same account can be used outside of the University, but software will only be accessible through a personal paid subscription that students will need to set up independently
- You can still create an account on the day but doing this beforehand will save time and avoid delays to the start of the class.
- If you already have an Adobe ID/ subscription you can use this on your short course rather than setting up a new account.
