Overview

About this course

Instead of teaching photography as a single skill, this course trains learners in the mix of jobs a working photographer takes on. Each genre starts with a short technique briefing and moves straight to supervised studio, location or field practice. Modules cover camera operation, exposure, composition and lighting, Photoshop and Lightroom editing, practicums in fashion, product, wedding, sports and wildlife photography, and a final stage on business, portfolio and a viva voce. Learners need access to a camera with a telephoto or zoom lens for the sports and wildlife sessions. NIBM lists the course at Kirulapone NIC. The fee is LKR 50,000, with no separate registration fee listed. The page does not name an awarding body.
