You may have some photographic experience or ability and want to think about a career or to extend and focus your hobby. You will explore the elements of photography including composition and light, understanding your camera, using experimental techniques and alternative processes in the darkroom, studio and on location.

Your topics may include portraiture, landscape, wildlife, architecture, and still life building to a portfolio of work and an opportunity to exhibit your work.
