Beginner Photography

Instructor: Dean Poignant

Department: Photography

This 6-week beginner photography course is designed to give participants a strong foundation in essential photography concepts and techniques. Each session includes a mix of instruction and hands-on practice, with the first hour focused on learning and applying new skills. The final 30 minutes are dedicated to image review and group discussion, creating a supportive space for constructive feedback and shared insights.
Participants will learn to confidently operate their cameras and explore key principles such as composition, exposure, and lighting. The course encourages creativity through experimentation, helping students develop both technical ability and artistic vision.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to take technically sound photographs, understand basic photographic terminology, and begin expressing their creative ideas through imagery. In addition to building skills, students will become part of a collaborative community where they can continue to grow and learn from one another.
