What is this course about?
The Intermediate Photography Course provides an engaging and in-depth exploration of what it takes to create outstanding photographs. This 10-hour course will teach you how to craft your images using the viewfinder and camera settings, emphasising the importance of learning to see in photography.
Through a series of on-location assignments and review sessions you will acquire the skills to recognise and control distracting elements in your images, design impactful photo projects, and effectively tell a story through your photographs. The course covers essential composition principles, such as object balance, the Rule of Thirds, and the strategic use of negative space. In addition, you will learn about the significance of contrast in your photographs and how to optimise your images during post-production.

"The class size is limited to 8 students which is really nice. Holger really encouraged us to explore things that inspired us and our own personal creativity simultaneously teaching us the technical aspects of producing great images. I can't wait to sign up for more courses and will be doing the Professional Course in the future."

"It was one of the best experiences I've had with photo classes. We also had lots of practice sessions and the ability to show our photographs and get Holger's opinion on what worked and what didn't. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to take their photography to the next level."
