DESCRIPTION:

The digital camera is now considered an essential tool for estate agents, architects, designers, professionals and travellers who take interior and exterior photos of buildings.

This course will steer you through the essential tools needed and the technique required to shoot quality, dynamic, creative and emotive shots which portray your client's property in the best possible light. Great photographs of properties and the ability to turn a drab, unappealing property into something attractive for prospective buyers adds value to the property and enhances your business professionalism. For travellers and lovers of fine architecture, you gain the skills to bring back evocative, memorable images of places you have stayed or visited.

The course will also appeal to photographers needing to learn more about flash gun techniques and shooting under a wide range of difficult lighting conditions. Many of our course students just love still life photography and shooting architecture. In this course they will learn from how to shoot industrial warehouses, classic Federation terraces, workers cottages, Italian villas, Greek tavernas, Turkish mosques - and closer to home - iconic Cottesloe landmark buildings such as The Indiana Tearooms, the Cottesloe Beach Hotel, local cafes, beach and lifestyle scenes and prime residential houses & apartments in Cottesloe, Swanbourne & Claremont
