Overview

This distance learning course covers artificial light, including on-camera flashlight; for example, how to use the camera’s built-in flash unit and hotshoe mounted flash units, as well as studio-style lighting units. Along with the fully-illustrated lessons there are a number of projects to complete. Photography is a practical subject so it’s important to get out there and take photographs. That’s the fun part in any case! Once you have completed the projects, you would then email them back to me and I’ll assess each image and reply with a constructive critique for each one. There is no time limit for this course – you work at your own rate. I think this is one of the big benefits of a distance learning course. If you have any questions during or after completion of the course, help is available. We are either an email or phone call away.

Description

This course also looks at how to shoot various types of subjects, such as glass and reflective subjects, to texture and how to highlight the shape and volume of an object. Photographing multiple subjects is also included. Using flash creatively with long exposures and fill-in flash for professional outside portraits, along with modifying your flash unit’s output; all this is covered in detail. When shooting in a studio environment the photographer has complete control over how the subject is lit. More than one light can be used to get the required lighting effect. Using multiple lights and controlling lighting ratios is also covered in this course. All the projects for this unit can be completed using your camera’s built-in flash unit and desk lamps can be used for the studio lighting section. No extra equipment is needed.

This course dovetails very well with the portrait distance learning course, although it’s not necessary to take both courses as they are stand-alone units in themselves.

Who is this course for?

Anyone wishing to learn about supplementary light sources and still life/product photography.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
