COURSE INTRODUCTION

​

The 3 months intensive course gives students a blend of technical and creative learning with various explicit skills. Students undergo an introductory learning on technical aspects of photography ranging from using various formats of digital technology in photography, lighting techniques, fundamentals of photography & editing for photography using professional equipment and resources. 

The course allows students to explore their visual communication skills and creative thinking and communicate them through images. Higher emphasis is given on developing the creative ability and fuses individuality and helps each student develop a signature style towards their work. Students explore various projects across fashion, commercial and editorial photography taught by practicing photographers. Students often receive opportunities to work in a professional environment with continuous support during and on completion of the course. 

The training informs students on industry protocols and students learn how to engage with industry experts – fashion editors, model bookers, agents, production companies and commercial clients. Through a series of studio based masterclasses, students gain and expand technical skill in studio and location work focusing on the art of light and composition. The photo shoot element of the course is executed at industry level working with model agencies, and industry based hair and makeup teams who are familiar with working on fashion editorials in London and internationally.
