Digital Photography for Absolute Beginners I & II

This course is ideal for those who want to learn how to operate the basic functions of a digital camera. You will learn about f-stop, shutter speed, film speed and how these three functions interact. You will also learn the basics of composition on shooting excursions every week, giving you a chance to practise techniques learned in class.

The prerequisite for Level II is the completion of the previous level or prior knowledge in digital photography. Applicants with no prior experience are encouraged to start from Level I.

About the trainer
After obtaining an MA in Communication Design, a Diploma in Illustrative Photography and having worked both as a designer and photographer, SuFan found her calling in teaching and sharing the fun of photography.

Her personal interest lies in making images of cityscapes, documentary-making and exploring the different possibilities of exhibiting photography works. She sees herself not so much as a photographer but as a kind of addict and compulsive maker and sharer of imagery.
