Explore Creative Photography

Challenge your technical skills and develop your conceptual thinking on this 1-day course

Explore creative photography techniques on this one-day course for 14-17 year olds. Based in our professional-standard photography facilities and guided by our expert photography tutors, you’ll develop your technical skills and broaden your experience.
We’ll explore the art of stop-motion animation, experiment with light painting in our darkroom; and work with exposure settings and lighting in one of our photographic studios. We’ll also take a look at an alternative photography method, using light-sensitive paper to produce unique, camera-free prints.

By the end of the day, you will:
• Have developed an understanding of the fundamentals of photography for stop-motion animation and will have created your own animated sequence using hands-on methods and digital tools.
• Have gained practical experience in light painting, learning how to manipulate light sources to create dynamic and expressive photographic images.
• Understand the principles of exposure and lighting, mastering how to use a photographic studio to achieve ideal lighting conditions for group shots.
• Have learned the fundamental skills required to create photograms, and will have produced your own unique photographic images by placing objects on light-sensitive paper and exposing them to light.
You’ll be taught by our experienced Falmouth University staff. All staff teaching this course are DBS cleared and have undergone our mandatory safeguarding training. Students will be supervised through the day including break times.

The course includes refreshments, lunch and all materials you’ll need for the day.
