JBA: Fine Art Photography with Jonathan Bourla
This six week course will cover all the bases for producing beautiful photographs, geared towards Black and White but applicable to colour photography too.
Description
In this course your will learn a range of skills from composition, lighting, and camera settings, through to digital post-processing using photo editing software, and finally being able to make a quality print to be proud of.
Geared towards Black and White, but applicable to colour too, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the controls on their cameras and subsequent effects, with an appreciation of best lightingand composition. Then on to refining their images in editing software and gaining a knowledge of how best to prepare their files for printing. The participants will have time to practise hands-on taking photographs with their camera, and then later in the studio classroom working on their images on their own laptop computer. Class members will be able to have the tutor make a physical fine art photographic print from their favourite image (there will be a small charge to cover costs of materials).
Prerequisites
Beginners welcome.
Supplies
A camera which has Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO controls (for the first three classes) - and ideally one which has a Histogram feature.
