Conceived by the
authors of best selling ‘Essential Guide to Digital Photography', the
New Digital Underwater Photography & Writer Workshop has been
developed for divers who want to take their underwater photographic
skills to the next level. With a modular course structure, participants
will be able to achieve certification and acquire skills that are far
beyond just taking a technically correct photograph. The emphasis is to
help aspiring photographers to compose and paint’ a picture
with a camera, using both natural and artificial lighting. Catering for
both Novice and Advanced shooters (Prosumer and DSLR), there are two
course syllabuses to choose from: the Absolute Essentials and Advanced
Essentials.
Some of the principal
modules are: Photographic Etiquette & Conservation issues; Exposure
Techniques; Beyond Basic Techniques; Macro / Wide Angle Techniques;
Elements of Successful Composition; How to Shoot for Competitions; How
to Shoot with Models; How to get Published; Advanced Lighting
Techniques; Post Processing; Photoshop & Printing Techniques.
The digital
photography workshop modules also include the essentials of post editing
using Photoshop and other tested software to create multi-media
presentations. The program schedule allows for maximum shooting time.
The lesson modules, plus the formal and informal critique sessions will
ensure that participants develop the essential techniques to
take publishable images. While the Digital Underwater Photography
modules are designed to help participants become accomplished underwater
photographers, we have now incorporated the ‘Writer' extension to help
participants to become photo-journalists. This course extension is for
those who wish to see their images published in magazines and other
related media. As well as the pride you will feel when your work is
published, this is an excellent way of being paid to travel, dive
and to see a return on your investment in expensive photographic
equipment. Most diving and travel magazines will only accept images if
they are supported by 'copy' - the written words that bring the images
alive. If you can present an editor with the complete package you will
always be considered for publication before images on their own - the
package makes the editors’s life so much easier. The ‘Writer' extension
has been designed to teach the required journalistic skills to help make
dreams come true.
Thoroughly researched
and well structured, the course contents are designed to prepares
participants for the world of diving and travel magazine
photojournalism. Lesson modules include: Establishing Media & Publishing
Opportunities; The Art of Words – developing writing styles; Research
and Interview Techniques: How to Develop a New Angle; How to Structure
your Article; Packaging and Marketing of editorials and images.
Our Digital Underwater Photography & Writer Workshop is taught by
accomplished experts comprising of established publishers, editors,
photographers, professional coaches and educators. The quality and
standard of this workshop is not found anywhere else in the world. You
will be learning from the best.
