Course outline

What is the course about?

A short practical course on the techniques required to achieve good photographs of interiors. It includes looking at images through taught and practical elements. The techniques covered are appropriate for film (with scanning) or digital cameras.

What topics will we cover?

- Composition, lens and equipment choice
- Stitching of images to create ultra wide angle images
- Lighting of interiors and colour control of mixed lighting situations
- Correcting verticals (vertical lines) in camera and software
- Control of contrast.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

- Select appropriate equipment for the photography of interiors
- Blend images in software to create wide angle perspectives
- Compose an image of an interiors view
- Control the colour of a mixed lighting environment
- Control the contrast of an image.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

This course is for beginners through to intermediate in the specialism of interiors photography. You need to have experience in using your camera on manual settings.

You should be able to follow simple written and verbal instructions to support demonstrations, hand-outs and for health and safety information, and will be invited to take part in group discussion. You should be able to use numbers and be able to do simple measurements and calculations.

Please look at the rest of the course outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support in your English and Maths skills to help you to take part fully in this class.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Bring your camera, tripod and flashgun if you have them - City Lit can supply you with all equipment required except film. You will be encouraged to print some images from the first session.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.
