Course Brief :

Have you ever heard yourself saying ‘it looked better in person than in this picture, when sharing photographs of your journeys with friends and colleagues?  The pictures we make while traveling or on holiday are our visual memories of the places we've visited. We want those images to have impact and tell a story of our journey in a way that holds the interest of the viewer.  With this online and interactive photography course, instructed by professional travel photographer and travel photography workshop leader Arlene Collins, you'll take your photography beyond "snapshots" and learn to tell the story of your travel experiences in well composed "Photographs."
