This Stage Four Digital Photography course is a natural progression from the College’s Stage Three DSLR course, focusing on developing and applying the techniques and knowledge you have already gained. You will be introduced to new ideas and methods inspired by the work of other photographers, supported by practical demonstrations.

Throughout the course, you will explore a wide range of photographic genres including Still Life, Landscape, Abstraction, Portraiture, and Street Photography. You’ll have the chance to experiment and respond creatively through set homework tasks and engaging class discussions.
