Introduction to printing

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS - ONLINE

The print is the perfect conclusion in the image making process. For a photographer, there is huge satisfaction in personally crafting their own beautiful print on fine art paper, rather than letting it languish on a hard drive or giving it to someone else to print for them. There is a cost involved in printing and some are deterred because they feel printing is a complex process which is difficult to learn. This is not the case and for this reason we have the Fotospeed Academy.

The course will include:

• Setting up the camera for print
