Learn to create, edit and sell top-quality travel images
Overview
Simply photographing an exotic location is easy, telling its story is considerably harder. This course, led by expert professional photographers, will cover creating, editing and selling top-quality travel images that make a statement. The emphasis is on finding your own particular style and improving on it. We cover everything from photographic basics up to concepts of composition and lighting, plus sessions on understanding digital equipment, relevant computer programs and markets for your work. Working in small groups you will have plenty of chance to pick our experts' brains on any aspect of photography.
Practical sessions will be followed by feedback and advice from our experts to encourage and inspire further improvement. The course is suitable for aspiring travel photographers whether you want to pursue a career in editorial work, supply a library, win prizes, publish books or simply improve your photographic abilities.
Course requirements
Students should have their own SLR camera and be comfortable using it.
