Introduction
Course 2 is an extension of the theory, techniques and understanding mastered in Course 1.
Course 2 provides participants with the opportunity to undertake further practical shooting classes and unpacks the complexities of composition the use of reflectors and shooting at dusk and night. It also imparts an advanced understanding of light quality and direction and the practical considerations of reflectors under differing light conditions. In addition, the participant will begin to combine composition and design principles to their studies.
This Course is ideal for students who have completed Course 1 in the beginner program or for students who have previous introductory training and looking to advance their photographic knowledge and skills.
The course concludes with a review and an evening professional image critique.
Course 2 is a pre requisite requirement for the Intermediate level programs.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this Course participants will be able to:
- Produce quality images using multiple exposure techniques
- Utilise the techniques of bouncing light from reflectors and light diffusion techniques
- Enhance image quality through the understanding of light theory and direction
- Produce a series properly exposed images at night, using blur and light painting techniques
- Understand advanced exposure techniques
- Understand the importance of compositional and subject elements, within an image.
Begin ‘reading’ images.

Teaching Strategies
Course 2 is delivered through a series of 5 x 3hr 6:30pm – 9:30pm mix of lectures and practical classes supported by visual aids, quality course notes and assignment critique. In week 4 students will participate in a practical shooting night workshop. This workshop includes working with a female model.
A typical class will include open critique of assignment work, discussion of techniques and practical exercises. Each week, participants will need to undertake pre described practical assignment work including experimental projects.
Specialist Facilities and Equipment
This course is delivered in a photographic studio and at pre determined photographic locations. The tutor will present to each class using visual aids. Students receive their login for the online LMS where they can upload their profiles, connect and share work with all members of the student community and retrieve their course notes and materials. Timetables, upcoming events and forums are available at the LMS www.urcreativeonline.com.
