Just been given a digital camera to use? Finding digital photography a nightmare? Need to take pictures for publication?

Our one-day in-house Better Digital Photography training seminar is aimed at journalists, editors, PR professionals and others who need to take better photographs.

InfoTech's course is run at your premises, so there is zero travelling time, no travel or hotel costs and the rate per person is very cost-effective.

But is this for you? Typically, all your images used to be taken by an in-house or freelance photographer, but you now have a digital camera and need to take them yourself. Sound familiar?

On the digital photography training seminar we look at:

• How digital cameras work and how to set them up for the best results
• How to take better PR and editorial photographs
• How to light your subject
• How to to set up better photographs
• How to use props
• How to enhance your images once they have been taken.

The average digicam is a completely closed book to most people - much the same as the instruction manual in most cases!

Terms like white balance, JPEG, ISO, TIFF and pixels don't help, but you can't really get the best out of a camera until you know how to set it up for the job in hand.

We then look at how to take better PR or editorial photographs, how to pose people, how to handle groups and how to turn the mundane into the marvellous.

All our courses include full handouts. We come to you, so all you have to do is provide a room and a suitable digital projector.

We have run in-house courses for Norwich Union, Standard Life, Euromoney, Halifax Building Society, Anglian Water, the Scottish Arts Council, Guinness, Herts County Council, Novartis, Manchester City Council, AstraZeneca and many others.

How much does it cost?
The cost is £450 + VAT + travelling expenses for the first delegate, and £75 + VAT for each subsequent delegate. Compare that with the total cost of sending four or five people to a course 150 miles away. We usually run courses for up to 10 delegates, which we find to be about the maximum.
