This is an intermediate level course, run as a six-week course with follow-up or as component of the Photocourse 2 programme . A working knowledge of basic photographic skills and techniques is required.

The course will be tutored by John Williams and James Gilberd.

The objective of this course is to build a portfolio of landscape-related photographs. The emphasis is on personal and individual Image quality and presentation is the technical focus of this component of PC2.

Note: the term Landscape will be interpreted fairly widely for the purposes of this course; there is no particular focus on the natural landscape. The urban lanscape, street photography, the mirco-landscape, the domestic and everything down to still-life will be addressed.

You will need either a digital SLR or film SLR camera to do the course assignments. Some 35mm film SLRs are available to hire for the duration of the course.
