Course Outline:

The 2 hour sessions will be delivered every month consisting of an image review from the previous session, followed by the next project brief and educational framework to equip you with the skills to execute it.

Sessions will be a mixture of predefined narrative based projects and looking at different photographers, their philosophy, aims and objectives and creative outlook. Working this way will enable you to understand your own artistic intent and develop your own creative style and vision.

You will then have one month to shoot the brief, making this a very practical, hands on learning experience.
