Course Overview

Are you short on time but eager to learn how to take great photos? In this week-long photography workshop, you'll break free from automatic settings and master the fundamentals of manual exposure, enhancing your creative control over your shots. Glenn Lockitch guides you through the process of putting technical skills into practice, with hands-on opportunities to explore a professional photographic lighting studio and shoot outdoors on the beautiful National Art School campus.

You'll gain experience photographing people in both studio and street settings, learning how to create strong compositions and control exposure to capture striking portraits. Whether you're working with controlled lighting indoors or capturing spontaneous moments, Glenn will help you develop the skills needed to bring out the best in your subjects. The workshop also covers basic image editing and printing techniques to perfect your photos.

This workshop is great for beginners and those with some prior camera and photography experience who want to refine their skills.
