A very practical course which covers many different aspects of creating visually engaging photo stories and also selling and marketing one's work. I would strongly recommend this course for anyone who aims for professional work in documentary/journalistic photography and has already enough technical skills to take professional-looking pictures. Our tutor was very supportive, and there were assignments (which means we had to take some photos or photo stories on a given topic) to complete outside the classroom almost every week.

This programme works excellently for intermediate photographers with either a professional need or personal interest in making a big step improvement in documentary photography or photojournalism. Presented in an engaging style, the project work prepares the student for the real world. You will not be the next Don McCullin after this course, but you will be well on your way!
