Improving Your Digital Photography (Evening)

Improving Your Digital Photography (Evening)

On this course you will learn advanced techniques to improve the quality, lighting and composition of your images. Advanced use of natural, artificial and studio flash lighting. Common uses of photo software. Special techniques; including Panoramas, HDR, and Focus Stacking.

The course will take a deeper look at producing high quality landscapes, portraits and close-up photography. This will include the use of well-known software to give the best final image from each exposure, although the emphasis will always be on getting the best results from your camera. We will look at ways of controlling or taking advantage of challenging lighting conditions, and this will include a studio session to gain experience of artificial lighting techniques.

Students are encouraged each week to try out what they have leant and the photographs are viewed by the group the following week.

This course would be ideally suited to students who have already completed our Beginners Guide to Digital Photography course or are already at this level (please see our Beginners course description). If you are not sure please contact us and we can arrange for you to speak to the tutor to determine the best course for you.

Case studies

Leah is now a self-employed artist creating unique ceramic pieces of art & one-off pieces for exhibitions, commissions and collectors. “I love designing and making a new collection of work for an exhibition. Commissions are also really fun, especially when they are for an organisation such as a museum.”

Whilst at Cornwall College I did three years of life drawing, I don’t believe there is anything that improves your artistic communicative skills more than drawing. I also had an amazing teacher that taught me how to work with clay, which is now the main part of my job!”

Leah’s ceramic designs are inspired by Renaissance ar, she prints out the paintings, places them on her clay pot & then uses dressmaking pins to map out the structure of each painting onto the unfired clay. This breaks down the painting into a series of geometric shapes and then she carves the clay with a scalpel following these markings.
