Through the eyes of the lens
A practical and theoretical exploration of photography in all its forms. This course will help you get to know your camera; learning how to operate it in manual mode, make correct exposures and understand the basics such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO. You will learn the art of good composition, capturing, action, objects and landscapes as well as how to edit and enhance photographs.
The course will involve many practical sessions where we visit different parts of Hong Kong to take our photographs. Some of these will involve the whole group travelling to one destination, but at other times students will work in pairs and individually and plan their own ‘shoots’. Another feature of the course will be the opportunity to work with professional photographers. There will be a number of visiting professional photographers that will input into the course and share technical knowledge and their own career journeys.
To support our developing understanding we will visit some exhibitions of photographic works in the many galleries that are local to the school in the Central and Soho districts of Hong Kong.
