Great photographs can do wonders for our PR effort, not to mention taking newsletters, websites and publicity to new levels.
Digital cameras have made it easier than ever before for anyone to take pictures but are the results stunning shots that the press are using ..... or run-of-the-mill snaps that are being ignored?
News and PR photography is a special discipline. Through friendly and supportive workshops and tutorials, this course covers the professional techniques that produce outstanding photographs - images that newspapers and magazines will find irresistible and that will grace the pages of your publications and websites.
The key aims of the day are to develop good camera handling skills and a journalistic photographic eye, to help achieve technically excellent photographs that are worth using.
