Learn to Tell Stories Through Photography - Enrol in "The Photo Essay" UTAS Online Course

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.

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
And once completed, you have the opportunity exists to undertake further units within the Diploma of Family History.

For this course you will need a camera (phone camera is suitable), and a computer.
