Overview

Learn the basics of photography principles and techniques in express time!

Description

Taking pictures but struggling to understand why you’re not getting what you want? Your owner’s manual reads like a foreign textbook?

Learn photographic terminology which will give meaning to terms such as
- shutter speed
- aperture
- white balance
- depth of field
- focal length
- jpeg and raw files, resolution
- and more...

With definitions understood, the course moves around each of these technical terms and employs practical exercises to explore the successful use of them. At the end of 4 weeks (or 4 sessions) you will know where to find and how to use your camera’s settings for creative effect. And you will have a collection of your own short photography projects to prove it!

Who is this course for?

Beginners to Beginners Plus:

You may be a complete beginner in photography, or need a refresher or want to up-skill to learn to be more effective with a higher "hit rate" in your image creation.

You might be in a business which needs images, but you can't quite get the focus or clarity or exposure right. You might be in a marketing role and/or in charge of images and/or social media but need help working out what makes a strong image, or why one photo works and the other doesn't. Knowledge of both camera and photography will give you the edge when creating, selecting or requesting imagery.

You may want to add our Photoshop course - so you know how to prepare and resize images for upload (Facebook, Pintrest, Twitter, etc), create banner ads for web advertising, set up Photoshop templates for others to rework monthly or weekly, or prepare online or print materials.

Requirements

Ideally a digital camera with the following exposure modes: M, Tv/S, Av/A, P. Camera phones also make great learning tools for photography and there are lots of skills we can give you for a device you will always have with you!

Career path

Photographer, journalist, writer (who needs to add images to their stories), marketing role, social media, image content manager, archivist, artist, historian, tour guide, travel industry and many more!

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
