Photographers' London Short Course

Course description

A photography course for people who may be new to photography or new to London. During this week long course your classroom will be a combination of lectures and crits at the Kings Cross campus and photographing practical projects with your tutor ‘in the field’ at various London destinations.

This course will not include any darkroom practice, so students are asked to budget for their own developing costs, as well as a travel card to cover visits around London.

On the first day students are asked to bring in ten examples of past snapshot photographs in print form (mistakes encouraged) for discussion and critique. 

Clear, easy to understand lessons:

  • Our tutors will explain things in easy to understand, accessible English. If they need to use any special terminology they will make sure they explain what they mean.

Details

Topics covered:

Each day is designed to get students out to see London and pair a specific camera mode with a photographic project. Gradually you will move from auto and semi-automatic modes to graduating to a full understanding of the manual mode and camera operation. 

Students will have one project per day that will not only progress the practice of camera mechanics and exposure creation but also serve as tasters in the genres of urban/street, advertising , editorial. architectural, travel, and art photography.

There will also be an introduction and practice of photo-editing and presentation skill development as each project brief will have this built into the post-mortem of the photographic shoot.  

Materials

Please bring with you to the first session:

  • Any type of camera with the option to shoot in manual mode
  • 10 examples of past photographs in print form (mistakes encouraged) for discussion and critique
