Multi-session courses…..

I’ve got two courses starting in September.  I’m going to be re-running my popular “Introduction to Digital Photography” course starting on Sunday afternoons.

And starting on Wednesday evening 31st August will be my long awaited “Intermediate Photography Course”.  This course will run fortnightly for seven sessions.  The course will take a thematic look at different types of photography such as travel, location portraiture, strobist techniques, studio work, product and macro photography, and sports photography.  There will be an optional eight session covering Glamour, Boudoir and Art Nude photography.  I’ve planned the general events program for the autumn term such that between each fortnightly session for this course there will be relevant events that attendees can come to to put into practice the skills we have been talking about.  I will be offering discounts to students on the intermediate course who wish to attend these events.
