This course is designed to inspire photographers of all levels to explore the expressive and imaginative side of photography. This is the logical progression from the first course.
A variety of photographic genres will be further 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 you pursue it.
