Description
Most photography courses place a heavy focus on camera settings. Not this one.

Rather than getting lost in technical details, this course jumps straight into the creative foundations of photography, teaching you how to see and think like a visual communicator. Drawing on art school training principles, you’ll learn how to interpret your subject and compose compelling images with intention.

Throughout this course, we’ll explore key ideas such as composition, image design principles, and visual hierarchy, while also developing your ability to build a personal photographic style. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of working with natural light, and learn how to confidently use shadows, reflections, and contrast to strengthen your work.

We’ll also look at the conventions and creative possibilities of landscape, portraiture, and still life photography, before moving into more advanced ideas like artistic expression, sequencing images, and creating a cohesive body of work.

The course is structured into bite-sized lessons that balance theory with engaging, practical exercises, so that you can immediately apply what you learn and start seeing real improvement in your photography. By the end of this course, you won’t just take better photos, you’ll understand why they work, and be able to articulate and apply a range of creative principles with confidence.

This course is informed by over two decades of professional practice in commercial photography, as well as an established career as a multi-award-winning, internationally exhibiting artist. With academic qualifications in photography, the arts, and a Master of Education, this comprehensive lesson design reflects a considered balance of industry insight and creative practice.

It’s also a lot of fun, so let’s get started already!
