Our program is designed to teach you the skills and knowledge to become a professional photographer or an enthused hobbyist - we will cover the techniques necessary to take exceptional photos, including the identification of elements that shape excellent composition.
The process does not end when the camera clicks; participants will also learn essential photographer workflows as well as the fundamentals of industry-standard photo-editing tools, including Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.
