Overview
About the course
Do you have the basics in photography but really feel you would like to produce more interesting images? Producing work that is truly one's own and developing a personal aesthetic is an on-going process for any photographer.
The Improve Your Photography course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) begins with an informal discussion that focuses on each participant’s previous work and influences. Then by taking part in a series of slideshow lectures and workshops you will develop an understanding of the principal techniques and picture making skills employed by a range of photographers throughout the mediums history.
The slideshow presentations also form the basis for discussing various photographic genres, such as Landscape and Street Photography, and act as the starting point for the assignment briefs. The feedback sessions that follow are intended to help you come to terms with the intricate aspects of editing and sequencing images as you set about building a coherent body of work.
