Creative Photography and Visual Theory course starts soon.
April 15, 2009
We have a few places left on our Creative Photography and Visual Theory course here at Garage Studios.
The course runs every Tuesday night 7.30pm-9.30pm, starting April 28th and is led by DarkDaze. The course costs £240, thats just £30 per 2 hr session, with a discount for NUS students (or college with ID) and a 10% discount if you have already attended one of courses. We have had some excellent feedback from students on the first course, which was a bit of a test run for us, but hey it worked a treat. We have all been really impressed by not just the standard of work that was completed but that each student appears to be pursuing a photography project of their own now, even though the course has finished.
The course itself is aimed at those who have an interest in photography and want to widen their horizons and knowledge, not just in technical areas but of photography in general. We set interesting projects throughout the course, and a lot of the discussions are very much led by the group- so you can improve at a pace that suits you but also, as happened last time be spurred on by the other students on the course.
I have a few testimonials from the last group, and hopefully a few of their favourite images will follow,
The whole course was excellent. having a set project each week was an excellent way to try out new photography and should be utilised more! I really enjoyed it though, seriously. Thanks for everything in the past 2 months Kevin, it’s been brilliant. Nick Blake
could wax lyrical all day about how great Dark Daze and the Garages Studios Creative Photography Course are, it’s easy - inspirational, compelling and insightful, it’s all stuff that springs to mind. All you really need to know though is that eight weeks on I’m a far greater photographer for attending it. If you need any evidence, one of my homework projects became number one on Flickr’s Explore with over seven thousand views. Stop reading this and sign up now. Ben Petrucci
Great course, it’s really changed the way I take photos. It’s actually forced me to start thinking about what I am trying to capture and create rather than snapping away and hoping for the best. Before the course my camera was just a machine that documented moments for me, but now I realise I can do pretty much anything I want with a bit of practice Sarah Ginn
Attending the creative photography course has been an excellent experience. It’s really made me look objectively at my photos. It’s given me a great understanding of the history of photography, helped to improve my technical understanding, and pushed me to think of new and hopefully interesing idea’s for future projects. By the end of the 8 weeks we depart as some tuned up, lean, mean, photographing machines, having gone on a great photographic journey together. Pete Repka

I will post some more images from the other students in the week as I am gonna bump this course a little, we think its great value for money and will be a boon, thats right a boon, to your photography. Some come sign up.
