What Our Students Say

I think I’ve really enjoyed the fact that I’ve had to make new friendships, especially because I didn’t know anyone coming in – but after the first few weeks I think I’ve adapted to it really well.

Dan

“The decision that made me pick between here and other places was when I came to the open day everyone was just really friendly and open, and it just felt like a really welcoming environment to be in.”

Charli

“Because I’ve got autism and I’d sometimes have trouble understanding things – because I need stuff breaking down into detail and explaining to me in a perfect way, in a much more understanding way, I have tutors that understand me a bit more.”

Course Information

Introduction

This course combines a detailed introduction to getting the best from your DSLR, with a specialist introduction to taking photographs in a professional studio. You’ll learn how to take dynamic, exciting, and eye-catching images that reflect your knowledge and creativity. You will learn how to produce high and low key portrait and fashion images using studio lighting. You’ll also gain experience of working in a production team and producing experimental photographic work. You will be able to create a portfolio of images to showcase your work and skills.

If you have your own DSLR you are welcome to use it, alternatively we have Canon cameras you can borrow for the sessions.

This 10 week course runs on a Wednesday evening from 6-8:30pm at Quarry Hill Campus in Leeds city centre.
