Mondays, 9, 16, 23, and 30 March
Four-part series
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Cost: € 180

Course Description 

The artistic choices we make tell us about who we are, what we love, and how we might "speak" to the world with visual images.

This course is for all photographers who would like to take their work to the next level by learning new techniques, discovering new ways to see, and working with one theme, which deepens the creative process. You will review creative tools such as composition, lighting, perspective, motion, contrast, selective focus, and post-production techniques through in-class exercises and assignments. We will discuss the work of past and present photographers and their themes, and how working in a series is both challenging and liberating. 

You will choose a theme to work on throughout the course, so that your final project will be a collection of images interwoven in style and subject. Class review will enable the refinement of your work and selection of final images. The class will be encouraged to submit the work for an upcoming exhibit in the WICE gallery. 

Please Note: An optional workshop, "Preparing Your Photographs for Exhibition," will be offered to assist students in preparing work for exhibition.

Students can expect to:

• Review creative tools and technical controls
  
• Get hands-on experience with practical assignments
  
• Participate in a friendly critique session of their work
  

Course Requirements

• Suitable for all levels of photographers and those wishing to develop their skills
