Course overview
Course description
Over the years smartphone photography has become ever increasingly popular and we now have phones that can produce amazing images with better and better resolution. This means that they can easily match and often replace DSLR cameras. In the past Smartphones had fixed lenses and smaller sensors and this would lead to very poor outcomes, especially when working in low light conditions. However, recently things have changed, and it is now possible to shoot in RAW format and experiment with a variety of lenses, including wide-angle, standard and tele zoom.
If you are interested in learning more about your phone and how you could use it to help you create more innovative and exciting images, this course is for you! You will learn more about the rule of thirds and the theory behind the assistive grid. You will experiment with location work and how to capture a sense of place. The course will also explain the history of The Photobook and how to illustrate work as an individual photographer, exploring sequential images and ways to represent your own personal narrative based on your experience of living in Weston-Super-Mare.
