This course introduces participants to the basics of fashion photography*. They will develop an understanding of how fashion photography emerged and evolved from the 1950s onwards. Photographing a body, deconstructing a look, understanding what styling is and how to apply it are all elements that they will explore, as they will be introduced to digital photography techniques, indoor and outdoor shooting, retouching and image processing as they apply to the fashion industry. The end goal of the course is for participants to produce a fashion photo book.
