Photography students on fast track at Tour of Britain!

 

NULC students studying the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Photography & Digital Imaging used the recent Tour of Britain Cycling Race to gain some real life photo journalism experience.

Course Leader, Alex Williams, said: “The Tour of Britain passing through the Potteries offered a fantastic opportunity for our second year students to add another string to their bow.  The students were set a live brief, which gave them some work experience in the fast paced environment of event photography. This gave our students a real taste of real world requirements for preparation and planning, as well as the quick turnaround time after capturing the images to edit and send them to the customer.”

Alex added: “The students did extremely well in the task, achieving various images that fit in various genres of photography, including Social Documentary and Corporate work, understanding that a sports event can be captured in various different styles and ways. Many students also had their work liked, praised and re-tweeted on various social media platforms.”
