Deal Digital Photography Courses

These courses are taught by Elisabeth Sephton who has been practising the art of photography for over 30 years, through exhibitions of framed work and publications. She has also been teaching photography, including GCSE, since the mid 1980’s.

Termly (8 -10 session) courses

The aim is for every student to acquire a confident working knowledge of their digital camera, becoming familiar with all its most useful and creative functions through a balance of theoretical and practical sessions. Emphasis will be made on the art of composition and learning ‘to see’ with time spent at various interesting locations as well as studying other people’s work. The course will cover the functions of computers and printers, with student’s pictures being assessed on screen and the most useful elements of photographic software explored and applied. Portraiture, lighting and an introduction to presentation will also be covered. Each student is encouraged to develop their own area/s of interest with a selection of exhibition prints made as an end result.

What will you need?

Ideally an SLR or ‘bridge’ digital camera but a good compact with manual controls would also do. Please bring the camera handbook. Good footwear for outdoor sessions is required and a tripod would be useful but not essential.
