PHOTOGRAPHY

Our photography range starts with an introduction to the fundamentals, before moving on to detailed explorations of lighting, exposure and composition. You’ll also find guidance on how to develop creative work through an understanding of design principles, narrative and research. As well as advice on setting up and running your photography business, there’s in-depth insight into key disciplines like landscape, portrait and fashion photography.
