Course program
This diploma course will guide you (with the aid of two-way communication with your personal tutor) through the theory of photography and the practicalities of your camera on to how to compose a good photograph even before you place the camera to your eye. Learn how to decide which equipment you need for a particular shot, how to choose the correct angle of view and what settings to use on your camera for the best results.
The course material is broken down into four sections covering the camera and photographic theory; photography outdoors, including landscape and composition; photography indoors using artificial light, flash and studio portraiture; and the final section shows you how to further develop your work, possibly even for profit. Each section requires you to produce set pieces of work and return them for marking, culminating in the final portfolio where you select a theme from a range of options and use your skills and creativity to produce work in your own style. These assignments will be marked and ultimately result in a diploma for those students reaching the required standard.
The course is designed for the novice photographer, but will be eminently suitable for the photographer with some experience and will also help hone the skills for those photographers thinking of becoming professional. Students with DSLR cameras will gain most from the course, but photographers with bridge and good compacts will still be able to use the material to develop their knowledge.
