Applications for the University of Tasmania’s (UTAS) online course “The Photo Essay” are now open.
This course teaches you how to tell stories through photography, and about going deeper than a single image.
We all know the impact that photographic images can have on us, individually and collectively. And when images and words come together to tell a story they can be entertaining, revelatory, breathtaking and even powerful agents of change. In this unit, you will work with media professionals to learn the basics of creating a photo essay. During the course you will hone your writing skills and learn how to create, select, and edit photographic images. Putting words and images together, you will learn how to use the photo essay format for personal, professional, or creative expression.
On successful completion of this unit you will have:
– Created, selected and edited photographic images
– Written expressive, concise, and effective captions
– Created compelling stories using a sequence of photographic images and words
– Reflected on your own work using relevant examples of the photo essay
What type of camera and software will I need?
Any camera will be suitable (including a phone camera), as long as you have the ability to upload the photos online. No specific software is required for this unit.
