Take Better Photos
Learn a few secret fundamentals of photography and you’ll be amazed at the results obtainable from even the most basic camera.
Thanks to the advances in digital photography one doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to take
great photos. Join Henk Venter on the Introduction to (digital) photography and he will let you in on a couple of trade secrets and techniques that will take your photography in a new direction.
In this hands-on course, participants will shoot a variety of images from portrait and architecture to landscapes.
Course dates:
13 August – 15 August
Landscapes of the Overberg
Join master photographer Henk Venter to shoot the ever-changing landscape of the Overberg. The splendour of the Overberg never disappoints as every season brings with it its own charm and visual beauty. From the intensely yellow canola flowers stretching as far as the eye can see to the unplanted brown monochromatic hills.
In this course, Henk will take you to a few of his secret spots around Swellendam where you will shoot alongside him and have full access to his considerable skill set and comprehensive-yet easy to understand, instruction.
Course dates:
6 August – 8 August
