PhotoSocial: Photographers Group Evening Session (DM101 Spring)

A general interest group for photography enthusiasts to share their skills, knowledge and passion for taking photographs.

What will you learn on this course?

This course is a weekly opportunity for anyone with a general interest in photography to get together with other enthusiasts in the company of our artist tutor Kate Green.

PhotoSocial is a flexible, general interest group that will motivate you to pick up your camera more and inspire new ideas, skills, approaches and creativity. If you enjoy working on your own photography projects, discussing or sharing your work, looking at other photographer’s work, creating photo books and developing your knowledge and skills, then this is the group for you.

The tutor will be on hand to facilitate group sharing and learning. The course may include visits out within the local area or into the city to suit participant’s interests in architectural, urban, or street photography. During this course, you will also have the opportunity to experience fine art portrait & nude photography and photograph a life model within a studio setting.

On completion of this course, you will have enjoyed sharing your enthusiasm for photography with others and you should feel inspired to be creative with your camera and want to explore your capabilities further.
