This
is an intensive course requiring the commitment to build upon the
teaching sessions by shooting and printing between sessions to present
at the next. You will also need to spend some time researching ideas
for each session. However, we will not be shooting during the teaching
sessions.
Documentary photography aims to introduce you to practical skills
needed to produce a picture story. The course leads you through the
basics of visual storytelling. You will be able to make creative use
of light and composition, have the ability to research ideas, make
critical editing and sequencing decisions, captioning and use of different
film and lenses.
Please see the Documentary
Photography Course Modules for more details.
