Open up a new world of creativity through the science and art of photography
About the Basic to Intermediate Photography Course
Afternoon Course.
We take you from learning how to use your camera to understanding what makes a good photo through to advanced creative techniques.
To ensure you get the most out of the course, you will have three practical shoots with an instructor. Even when the course ends your learning does not. You will enjoy free ongoing critiques from our professional photographers through our Online Student Social Network. No other photography school offers the depth of content plus the ongoing support that you will get from us. Whether you just want to do photography for fun, or you want to get on the path to becoming a professional photographer, our Basic Photography Course is for you.
Presented by
The Midstream Photography Course is presented by Lynette van der Bijl; a visual storyteller, light chaser, and home-schooling mom who understands that learning should be fun to stimulate the appetite for knowledge.
