About
Nottingham is a vibrant city with a rich heritage – Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest, The Lace Market, and Nottingham Castle all make this the idea 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.
In this course you will:
• Improve your understanding of digital photography and the manual settings of your camera
• Explore Nottingham’s history and heritage through photography
• Experiment with abstract shapes, colours and textures
• Use Raw processing and Photoshop to enhance and manipulate your images
• Print your own photographs in a darkroom
• Make a short zine of your work using InDesign
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!
