DESCRIPTION:

The mark of a great landscape photographer is the ability to produce high quality images that evoke an emotive reaction from the viewer.

Composition, control of light, and creating a mood is what this course is all about. You will learn different types of landscape photography - from creating movement or freezing motion at the beach, arty abstract landscape images, tranquil reflections, and mirror images of the river and iconic bush and parkland scenes throughout Kings Park. Shooting scenes in low light and “painting with light” techniques will also be covered. Learn to develop your style - whether this is creative and experimental, stylised, or formal.

This landscape course is taught in conjunction with Code Lime Photography and is also run in Sydney and Melbourne. We will impart a high level of proficiency to the serious amateur photographer or to someone considering a career in landscape photography. You will be confident to shoot at a professional level. It assumes a proficiency in digital camera handling and technical knowledge. Ideally, you will have completed at least a beginners' course or be able to demonstrate a similar level of competency. The group will be limited to a maximum of 10 people for a highly personalised training experience.
