Introduction to Photography

Before you enrol, please be aware of the following:

All students must attend a minimum of 7 out of the 9 classes each term in order to receive a pass. If this is not possible, you will need to discuss this with your lecturer or the admin team.

You can request an extension from your lecturer for the final assessment, however, the maximum extension is two weeks. If you are unable to hand in your work by this time you will need to resit the class. If it is due to extenuating circumstances, please discuss this with your lecturer.

If your circumstances change and it is no longer possible for you to study, you have until Week 5 of term to defer your course to a following term within the next year. However refunds cannot be issued, and students are liable for all tuition fees as of the Term Census Date, which is the last Friday of the previous term. Fees paid are rolled over to the returning term. Withdrawals prior to the Term Census Date will forfeit the 20% non-refundable deposit paid.

Additional Information

This class is typically the first one you study in the Certificate IV, but you can take it on its own if you are wanting to do the best darn digital image capture course we could create.

Learn how to take the camera off auto mode and discover the different ways you can get your images right in-camera. From apertures and shutter speeds to lenses and focusing, you will develop a clear understanding of how the exposure triangle works and how to use it. This course also includes the basics of digital image development in Lightroom and Digital Asset Management.

This course is a core component of the Certificate IV in Photography and Digital Imaging. That means if you want to get a certificate you must study this course.
