Digital Photography Intermediate Short Course
Course description
You will undertake a series of short, challenging briefs and learn photo-editing skills in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, plus attend lectures on composition, editing and lighting.
The course will lead towards shooting a personal project which will be developed throughout the week. There will be the opportunity to use studio lighting, work on sequencing images, and any technical areas specified by the photography youre interested in.
There will also be group critiques, a small research project and presentations intended to increase your awareness of photography and how it is used in context.
With the support of your tutors and peers this friendly and informal course will help you understand the value of developing a personal point of view in your photographic work.
This course is best suited to students with digital SLR cameras and advanced 'compacts' with manual controls.
Please note: This course is for students aged 18 and older

IMPORTANT - Adobe ID Login for Short Course Students
Students will need to create an account with Adobe (unless you already have one) in order to access the Adobe suite at the college – instructions are included below. You will need to use a personal email address to create this. If you already have an account with Adobe, please make sure you bring your login details with you on the first day of the course.
Please note:
- Creating an Adobe account is free.
- The software will only be accessible when logged into a UAL networked computer
- 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.
