Advanced Fine Art Photography Course
TRANSFORM YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY INTO EXHIBITION ART
Going Further | Lessons 7 - 12 | One Lesson a Week
This exciting advanced course follows from the previous six lessons and explores the creative world of art photography even further.
​
Although taught in the same format as the previous course, these "advanced" lessons break away from decorative art into emotive prints where deeper meaning, social commentary and storytelling becomes essential. You will be shown how to come up with and develop creative ideas and unlock creativity. Attributes in the art such as shape, distortion, colour, texture and juxtaposition are now explored to their maximum, as students are mentored towards creating a themed portfolio of exhibition prints.
​
These advanced lessons are presented as an extension to the first course and cannot be done without completing lessons one to six.
​
This program also consists of six lessons comprising of two and a half hour lessons, taught once a week. Classes are presented live over Zoom, and video recordings are screened to demonstrate techniques. Classes are small in size, interactive and workshop orientated.
Traditional art techniques like encaustic wax and ink are combined with heat and image projection to create stunning artworks.

SHOWCASE
" I so enjoyed the first six lessons, but I found the additional workshops very inspirational and challenging, but in a good way. Honestly, I did not realise that I was capable of creating such interesting work. Thank you to the class, you guys are awesome, and a big thank you, Martin, for guiding us through a creative wonderland! I will never forget this course."
