COURSE OVERVIEW
The Photography Centre we work with is the oldest and traditional photo school in Rio de Janeiro. It's a non-profit institution which was founded in 1951 and aims to “stimulate and advertise the art of photography”  The Centre organises indoor and outdoor photography courses, seminars, workshops & expositions and photo projections.

The photography centre is located around 15-20 minutes from your accommodation on public transport. For information on living in Rio and your accommodation, please see here.

Courses run throughout the year - as you'll be working 1-1 with your tutor, the course can run at any time. All lessons are taught in English and all course materials are in English.

You will have lessons 2 or 3 times per week. The lessons will all take place during the week, to allow you the weekends for sightseeing and travel with your fellow students and other volunteers!

You’ll be taught using videos, slides, enlarged photographs and your course book. You’ll also have access to all the different cameras and studio equipment at the centre. Most students will work with both digital and film cameras.

On the course, you will cover a variety of skills and ideas and have the opportunity to put them into practice in beautiful Rio de Janeiro! For example, the basic course covers:

How to use digital and film cameras
Technical skills including composition, lighting & colour usage, flash techniques,
      exposure and filters
Practical studio photography, including portraits and still life
Practical outdoor photography
A visit to a professional studio

If you are interested in another area of photography, we can sometimes organise a course in this area - just ask! If you are a group, and would like us to tailor a course for you in a particular area, this is also possible.

Our courses are all practical, and most of them include the opportunity to take photographs outdoors.
