WINTER COURSES
TIMELAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPTimelapse photography is where you take a sequence of stills photos over a period of minutes, hours or days and compress them into a 24 frame per second video of only a few seconds or minutes in length.This technique allows you to see a slowly changing scene at a much faster pace. Timelapse videos are relatively easy to shoot with your camera, you simply take a few hundred photos, one after another. Some cameras have an Intervalometer (a way of shoot many shots the same time apart) and some need to purchase a separate Interval Timer. To get a stunning, seamless timelapse video... more>>

Welcome to a new concept in Digital Photo Courses

The Institute of Photography are Ireland's only dedicated Digital Photography School. It was set up as a response to the need for specialised training in this exciting new area of photography. The explosion in Digital Camera ownership in Ireland in recent years means that many people are coming into digital photography with little or no formal training behind them. As a result we only teach digital photography, full stop.

Our school is built on the philosophy of keeping the technical concepts simple so that our students can find it easier to understand and remember the key principles of photography and digital camera usage.

A unique aspect of the Institute of Photography Courses are the specially produced handouts. All of our notes are written in plain English and are illustrated with full colour photographs and drawings to show you exactly what you need to know. The handouts have all been fine-tuned in a classroom setting, so that each of our tips are guaranteed to work in the real world.

As trainers we realise that the human brain can only take in a little information at a time. Our specially produced notes are a key way to extend the amount of knowledge our students can retain. Not only that, but days and weeks later it is still possible to continue the learning process by simply re-reading the handouts.

Experienced Tutors lynn-privett portrait 017
The tutors at the Institute of Photography know exactly what they are talking about. Not only have they long experience in teaching Digital Photo and Photo Software Courses, but are professionals in each of the areas they tutor in. They also have buckets of patience and good humour to boot!
