THE TRAINING PROGRAMME

The Training Programme will be a single 3h course (with break) which will focus on all major aspects of practical photogrpahy. Call it a crash course, if you may.

It will begin with the very concept of photography and light, and you will then learn about the camera and how it enables you to capture moments through light. You wiill be taught how to capture these moments effectively and in a way that communicates what you wish to exprss to your audience. Furthermore, it will focus on practical situations which you will encounter as a hall photographer, and in most situations which you will be taking photographs in.

This will be followed by a Q & A session, and we will meet again to review what you have learn, and what you have been able to apply.


For those unable to make it for the First Photography Training Programme, I will schedule a repeat programme which I will personally conduct for your benefit. Please try to make it if you can.
