Photography: Composition skills workshop

Once you have mastered the basics of your camera's settings and functions you will need to learn the creative tools integral to the photographic language. Colour, light, contrast, balance, rhythm, movement, and the elements of design are the building blocks photographers use to draw out the beauty in a subject and bring their creative vision to life. Photography: Composition Skills Workshop opens your world far beyond 'point and shoot' and extends your journey to developing your own individual style, channelling concepts, forensic observation skills and visualisation processes without rules and limitations.

This creative photography course drives outcomes for photography that are very considered, deliberate and mindful, with your creative capture choices more aligned to the approach, attitudes and professional behaviours of successful working photographers creating images with real impact.

By the end of this Composition Skills course, you should be able to:

• Make effective photographic capture decisions that balance technical, creative & practical options

• Integrate upskilled compositional tools into the image capture processes

• Understand the roles of forensic observation, mindful processes, and playful imagination, in the composition of photographs
