Description
How do I capture an image that expresses what I feel? Imagery is everywhere. It is easy to capture something. Find out how your own creative potential and path of discovery can be expressed by photographic practise.
Start with your own creative exploration and then be gently guided through the technical aspects of digital and film photography including basic darkroom craft as an aid to realise your exploration. All levels of skill catered for. 'When taking a photograph, the camera is of least importance.' - Julius Shulman
