Photography Workshop at the University of Surrey

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR BUSINESS
A workshop looking at the capture of images for business use – on the internet, for social media postings, blogs, Power Point presentations and for print.

“Now anyone can be a Photographer...”

The advent of digital photography and reasonably priced digital cameras giving good quality images has seen a major take up by people who may not in the past have used a camera on a regular basis mainly due to the cost of film and processing.

The ability to see and review what has just been taken has made photography a lot easier without incurring any cost - just reshoot or delete as necessary.

Photography has changed both for the 'snapper', the keen amateur and for the professional photographer. Producing good images in most cases is now possible; where in the past using film the photo may have turned out to have been poor quality, digital imaging now enables good images to be achieved from a less than perfect original  - the downside is that time now has to be spent processing the image on a computer.
