The workshop presents an extensive introduction to the principles and practice of digital photography. It is specifically designed for anyone who is relatively new to the world of digital photography, and will help you not only understand, but apply knowledge and skills according to your interests and aspirations. Practical exercises, critical discussions, insightful analysis, and real world analogies demystify the digital process and provide a familiar interface between digital techniques and traditional artistic practice, and thereby provides a comprehensive guide to what is involved, what is possible and what is required.
