Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé

Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé is a vibrant city with a rich heritage – Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest, The Lace Market, and Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé Castle all make this the ideal place to learn about heritage through the lens of your camera. This course will teach you the necessary skills to capture the identity of a place in your photographs.

You will need a camera if you have one. This could be a digital or film camera. If you don’t have one then don’t worry, you can borrow one from the university - you will be using a variety of cameras including the ones on your phone.

You will be able to:

• Improve your understanding of digital photography and the manual settings of your camera
• Explore Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé’s history and heritage through photography
• Experiment with abstract shapes, colours and textures
• Use Raw processing and Adobe Photoshop to enhance and manipulate your images
• Print your own photographs in a darkroom
• Make a short zine of your work using Adobe InDesign

After this course, you will learn how to:

• Communicate a visual response to places and histories
• Evaluate your own work and that of others
• Demonstrate relevant technical skills
• Create photographs that explore ideas.

Teaching methods: lectures, project briefings, studio workshops, technical demonstrations, verbal and visual presentations, and off campus trips.

Assessment: a visual presentation of your project work.

This course is ideal for university-level students with a passion for photography and heritage and have the required English language skills.
