"Step into Photography" is designed to inspire photographers of all levels to explore the expressive and imaginative side of photography.
This course assumes no previous knowledge. Time will be spent mastering the basic controls of a DSLR camera, so that you can apply that knowledge to produce images to set topics.A variety of photographic genres will be explored including Still Life, Landscape, Abstraction, Portraiture and Street Photography.

You will be given the opportunity to try out your responses to these themes both through set homework and class discussion. One of the main learning objectives of this course is to help you discover the type of photography that you are really interested in and provide you with the skills to help them pursue it.
