Introduction to People & Place

Having completed my first Open College of Arts course, Art of Photography, I have decided to study towards the next two qualifications side by side. I feel that the two courses, People & Place and Context & Narrative could complement each other quite nicely.
While studying towards Art of Photography, I started to set up a small business photographing mainly portraits and events. I plan to join a camera club in October with the aim to join in their portrait sessions, increasing my skills with studio lighting as well as other aspects of photography.
I am a member of several photography based social network groups, one of which is sometimes used to arrange practical visits and weekends, mainly around Yorkshire.

I have several aims for this course; as mentioned, I would like to improve my skills in ‘set up’ studio style shots by gaining a better understanding of lighting and its functions. I would also like to gain confidence in street photography. Two of the social network groups I visit, Urban Street Photography and People & Portraits have really inspired me over the last year and I’m relishing the idea of gaining knowledge in these areas.
