Overview
What you will study
This How to Make Meaningful Photographs course offered by Trent University goes beyond the pure technical knowledge of how to make an adequate photograph and concentrates on putting emotion and impact in your images. Techniques such as the study of successful images, developing projects, persistence, and techniques of editing amongst others will be discussed to elevate the photographer’s abilities. The only perquisite of this course is for the photographer to be competent technically in the operation of their camera. No technical advice will be given on camera operation. Instead, the focus will be on discussing techniques to help you create and determine which of your images are the best and how to make images that stand out from the crowd.
