Maybe you shoot every weekend and wonder what it takes to charge. You cover light, lenses, composition and colour, then editing. Made for people who already shoot and want it sharper.
One to one feedback on your own shots from an industry mentor, plus live critiques. That is the part a tutorial video cannot do.
Capturing light comes second in the course, ahead of composition and editing. Better light beats a better body every time.
A closing module on refining your images, so a shoot ends in something you would show a client.
Photography work is mostly self made: weddings on weekends, portraits by appointment, houses for agents. It builds from a portfolio and word of mouth.
One long day, and the images a couple keeps for life.
Families, headshots and studio work by appointment.
Fast, repeatable work shooting homes for agents.
Mixed commissions built around your own client book.
Product and brand work for businesses.
Shooting and editing for social and web channels.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. The course carries no national recognition. Photography work is won on portfolio and reputation.
Six modules, from picking up the camera to finishing the image.
This is built around your own photographs: projects, live critiques and detailed feedback, ending in a one on one session with your mentor.
The college puts practising photographers and editors in front of students, with real time advice.
Sessions you can join rather than a library of recordings you watch alone.
