You have learnt the basics and know your way around a camera, you feel confident enough taking photos and gaining the look you set out for and now you’re ready to explore more photography areas in depth…
We can help you explore several new areas of photography and teach you how to apply your skills to learn new techniques and styles. Working through several small projects we will push your skills to develop as you find a style you are comfortable with.
Both photography and editing will take place as you explore the theories behind the compositional make up of an image and how to create focus and draw in new detail to photos post editing.
During this four-week block of 2.5 hour sessions, you will work in the studio, the classroom and around Barnsley covering the following areas of the photography industry. This course will feature learning outside the usual classroom environment, weather permitting:

The course will cover the overlapping skills and techniques used in the above environments and allow you to further enhance your photography knowledge through practical activities and hands-on learning.
